No one ever thought this day would come. The day where humans become even less humane. The day where humans are no longer humans... but shells of them. Sure, they may look slightly the same, but on the inside... they're rotten. Literally. A deadly disease sweeps through the US, wiping out all of the cities in its way. The only catch is that the people who are infected don't die necessarily. They experience something that some would think is worse than death itself. Eight survivors must figure out just how far they're willing to go to live. They'll face difficult challenges, new foes, startling revelations, and loss of the ones they love. Will they be able to fight their way to safety? Or will they crack under the pressure placed on their shoulders?
