It has been 20 years since a special strain of cordyceps fungus emerged and began infecting humans, systematically taking over their brains and turning them into The Infected. Since then, the United States military, or what's left of it, has placed much of the country under martial law, establishing Quarantine Zones in many major cities. Each zone features numerous checkpoints where civilians are scanned and tested for infection; any survivor found with even the slightest trace of the disease is euthanized on site. Outside the quarantine zones, nature has reclaimed much of the land lost to humans in recent centuries, resulting in startling contrasts of green and gray in America's abandoned cities. Joel,a smuggler within a quarantine zone in Boston, sells weapons and drugs on the black market, often trading in ration cards for goods, supplies, or favors. An event occurs where Joel promises a lifelong friend that he will take care of a young girl named Ellie as they escape from the quarantine zone and go across the country in search of the Fireflies, an organization aimed at restoring modern society and finding a cure for the disease without the help of the surviving U.S. government. On the road, there are scavengers, hunters, and other dangerous survivors looking to exploit the weak and naive to better their own situations; many groups see Joel and Ellie as an opportunity. The pair must constantly do battle with these groups, as well as hordes of the Infected, as they make their way across the country to the Fireflies.

Zara approached the edge of the tower, clutching the railing as She threw a leg over, then the other, and rested her clammy, cold palms and bum on the cold metallic railing. Zara was unsettled when She heard the shuffling of one's feet. "Hello?" Zara asked, glancing behind her shoulder, wondering why anyone but her was out here, on a cold September night. The blood on her hand seemed to grow drier as the cool, crisp breeze swept pass it. Forgetting her hand was supporting her balance, she inspected her hand, just as she was about to tumble forwards, a arm gripped her waist and a hand on her other. "Gosh Potter, you're practically falling for me."

❝“Is this a dream?” I whispered. The boy in front of me shrugged. “Somethin’ like that,” he said. “You’re asleep. That’s for sure.” “And what about you?” I asked. “Are you asleep too?” “Me? Nah.” He shook his head, smirking a little as he added, “I’m dead.”❞

They were different people who wished for different things. All Benji wanted was to survive high school without failing his six AP classes. Josephine wanted to win every debate competition she stepped into, and quite frankly, everything else she ever did in life. Snyder just wanted people to never call him by his first name, or even better, never talk to him at all. They were different people with different wishes, but in the end they all got the same thing: weekly book discussions.
