In a world consumed by darkness, where the living are outnumbered by the ravenous undead, two unlikely companions must navigate treacherous terrain, confront their inner demons, and forge an alliance of survival against all odds. Claire, a sharp-witted barista who's adapted her sarcasm to the new world, and Alex, a battle-hardened fighter with a fierce determination to protect those she cares about, find themselves thrust together in a desperate bid for survival. Their journey is a relentless odyssey spanning a month's worth of perilous travel through a shattered world. They encounter not only the horrors of the undead but also the darkness within themselves as they grapple with past traumas, regrets, and fears. With each step, their trust in one another deepens, forming an unbreakable bond in a world where trust is a rare and fragile commodity.

When a bachelor-style reality show centered around finding this year's Mrs. Claus comes to Charlie's small town, she is vehemently against the attention it brings, yet in the chaos of it all, somehow finds herself in the running as a contestant... and falling in love.
*****
In the weeks before Christmas, Charlie Duncan's small town finds itself the backdrop to the hit new reality show, Finding Mrs. Claus. And to spice up the drama, a handful of locals are thrown into the casting mix, including not only Charlie, but her best friend Ellie as well. While Charlie does everything she can to get tossed off the show (to no avail), and watches skeptically as Ellie truly begins to open up her heart, she can't help but feel a certain spark for the man behind the scenes - the show's producer, Noah Cyrus.
