Rule #1: Real-life zombies are nothing like the ones in the games. Leena and her brother Jason have been left to take care of themselves for the next two weeks while their parents are away in Paris for a medical conference to discuss something that could provide immortality.

With Paris quarantined, Leena and Jason have no way of reaching their parents or knowing if they're okay. And, when the disease reaches the States, they will have to rely on each other, strangers, and Jason's knowledge of zomibes in order to survive. Will there be a cure? And, what if zombies are only the beginning?
