In the spring of 2014, HYDRA-occupied SHIELD is in full swing, working underground to power the monster that is the Winter Soldier. Following in his shadow is their latest creation. Immortal, obedient and a murder machine, the child known simply as 'The Faceless Girl' cleans up any loose threads the Winter Soldier may have missed. She is a ghost story inside of a ghost story. With the fall of SHIELD, however, The Winter Soldier and The Faceless Girl run from HYDRA. They are now defectors of everything they know. It is simply James and Isabell on the road, now. James and Isabell, and the many, many ghosts that haunt them.

Tiger Mallory is eight years old. Alone in the walker-infested woods of rural Georgia, with nothing but a knife and a dog, she knows her chances of survival are slim. If her sister was still here, perhaps there would be a little more hope for her, but Jackie is gone, and it's the sort of gone that people don't usually come back from. Not anymore. So, when a little girl comes running through her forest, Tiger decides to chase her. Out of boredom, hope or loneliness, she isn't really sure, but it suddenly gets a whole lot more complicated than just that little girl. Some bitchass cop and his redneck friend are looking for the kid too, and they want to bring Tiger with them. Just for now. Just until they find the girl. And really, who is Tiger to refuse? She's just using them, same way they'll use her. Maybe she'll survive a little longer with Rick Grimes. Hey, maybe she'll even find her sister.
