Those Who Remain

It's no lie that across the world, and especially in America, people want to lose weight. The newest craze, shed it diet pills, came onto the market after making its big debut on a popular TV show. It went live on the market after undergoing a formula change that enhanced its fat shedding abilities. However, it came with devastating effects no one could foresee.
Gemma Gouldin was an average twenty-one-year-old college student, home for the summer. When the shed it pills hit the market, she couldn't believe the craze surrounding them. As a nursing student, Gem thought that people should take as little medicine as possible, and most diet pills were a hoax. So, when she learned people were starting to get sick because of the pills, she wasn't surprised. When people begin to die from severe complications, it shocked everyone.
Riots broke out at several of the funerals for the victims of the devastating pills, but people who managed to escape reported the person who had died was the one to attack. Reports of this started to explode around the country, and soon, America was in shambles with the growing pandemic.
Gemma narrowly escaped the risen dead when the outbreak started in her town. She was hoping to get to the family lake house in Tennessee safely with her best friend Ridge and Lily, the teen they picked up along the way. They mostly keep to themselves, but when they come across a community at their destination, will the complications they find be too much to handle or will they be able to overcome the circumstances the pill threw them into?
