The world has changed...or ended. It depends on how you look at it.
The undead roam the streets, hungry, never full. They search for human or animal flesh to fill the void of their bottomless guts. One bite and you're doomed; doomed to become one of them, unless your brain is destroyed. Now we know that, even if you die, you turn.
What would you do to keep your family safe?
A lonely girl, a broken redneck, and a group of people so different you'd have never thought they could get along.
Hope cares for her group more than she has ever cared for anyone ever before, and she is willing to do anything to protect the ones she loves. When she finds out that she's expecting a baby, she only grows more determined to keep him or her safe. Along with this, she's dealing with the new experiences that come with being a wife to a certain redneck.
Daryl wants nothing more then for a world where Hope will be safe, away from harm, and there's nothing threatening to take her away from him. With the extra knowledge of Hope's pregnancy combined with the new role of being a husband, he's determined to be a better man.
For her, he feels like he has to.
Once again, Hope and her group must find a way to survive, like they already have been for years. Once they get out of Terminus, all they have to do is find the next safe haven.
Then, they see how long it lasts.

"We're gonna get through this... We are, I promise you."
"It just feels like we spend our lives fighting. We win one fight and then the next just seems to knock on the door."
"And we'll win this one too. Remember what you used to tell Carl, what you tell people even now when they need hope. Say it."
"We're the ones who live."
"Goddamn right we are."
