Hayleigh isn't your average, run of the mill, kind of girl. She's top of the heap. The cherry on top of the Sundae. At least she had been, before the Zombie apocalypse hit. Her elevated social standing at Beverly Hills High, the best clothes, a great CV on her college application, matter less in this new world, and she doesn't like it. Not at all.
Desperate to get back her old life in this new, Zombiefied world, Hayleigh leaves the safety of her underground bunker in search of others she can dominate. Others who will, once again, worship her, as only she deserves to be worshiped.
Ezekiel, or Z, as he's called, has a problem. Ok, a slew of problems, truth be told. Least of which is the fact he's a Zombie. A high functioning Zombie, for sure, but a Zombie nonetheless. He was alive - then he died - then he came back life. To his way of thinking, that qualifies him as alive as anyone. Unfortunately, some disagree. And their disagreement is backed by guns, machetes, and a variety of weapons, all of which have the sole purpose of making sure he dies again. This time for good. Added to that, he's doing his best not to eat people. At least not the ones he likes at any rate. All he wants is to lead the group of survivors safely out of LA, with his flesh eating Zombie brothers and sisters on one side, and chainsaw wielding gangs on the other.
When Hayleigh and Z's paths cross, their lives are forever changed. Will he dominate her, or she, him? Only one of them can be the leader. The question is, which one will it be? It's a battle for supremacy in this post-apocalyptic world.
Mary is four, and running, running, running. Running from the monsters, the terror. Running for her life, in no real direction. Then she meets a man who can save her, but for how long? Because life will never be the same again.
"No. Sweetie, we don't look back. We look forwards."
"Why? Why can't I look back?"
"It's too sad. Just... Look ahead, with your chin up, and always in my sight. That's all I ask. Those three things."
"What if I can't? What if you're gone one day?"
"I'll never leave you. Okay? I promise."
"Doubly promise?"
"Doubly promise."
