"I’ve always thought about the way I would die. And in those thoughts, I could never escape the utter inevitability that I would die in The Cleansings. The Cleansings took my father and now they will take me. It is my turn to die. It is my turn to serve society. I will offer our government the greatest offer there is to ever offer: my life."

         Set in the distant future, teenager Gavin Dwyer lives in the perfect utopian city. However fifty years ago, his city was not so perfect. Crime and overpopulation led the government to usher in a new era. An era without impurities. The answer his government came up with: The Cleansings. An annual event, where a handful of individuals who have no use to society are carefully chosen, and executed at a public celebration. When Gavin Dwyer is chosen, he takes it as it is - a death sentence. However, not everything is how it seems in his seemingly perfect society.

50 parts Complete

Season 4 of The Virus Within Trinity is familiar with zombies, being one herself, but when strange zombies start appearing, she realizes that the world she knew might be changing yet again. When a dangerous set of scientific notes are discovered, Trinity and her friends don't realize anything is wrong until a frantic radio call comes in. Unaware of the notes, they race to the south and struggle to determine where the strange zombies came from. The zombies are unlike any ranks previously seen, and they aren't as predictable. Some have new tricks hidden up sleeves, forcing any Stronghold they encounter to quickly adapt to the new challenge or risk being overrun. Secrets never remain hidden, and zombie apocalypses never make life easy.
