As he sits in a snowed in farmhouse with no supplies, slowly starving, the unnamed protagonist writes his last will and testament. A document in which he describes what happened to him in the year since the dead came to life. In order to find safety, the survivors will have to face each other as well as the dangers of the chaos outside. In such impossible times, when the earth itself seems to have lost all its capacity to give life, the young man and his companions strive to find out what it means to be human when the humanity they once knew is no more than a memory and death has seeped into every part of their lives.
