In a world overrun by a deadly cordyceps outbreak that turns people into terrifyingly inhuman creatures, survival is just the beginning. Elysia, a resourceful and determined woman in her early thirties, is on a mission to keep her 16-year-old sister Elena safe. Meanwhile, Joel, a seasoned survivor hardened by loss, is doing everything he can to protect Ellie, a 14-year-old born into the apocalypse and the closest thing he has to family. When their paths cross, Joel and Elysia form an uneasy alliance driven by a shared need-a car that could change the course of their journey. But as the group grows closer, the two girls, Elena and Ellie, bond over their shared experiences, a rare comfort in a world devoid of normalcy. As Joel and Elysia's partnership deepens into something more, they face a harrowing choice: Ellie carries the cordyceps virus, and the sinister Fireflies believe her death is the key to a cure. Fighting against time, enemies, and their own fears, Joel and Elysia must navigate a treacherous path to save Ellie, risking everything for a chance to protect the girl they've come to love. In a world where trust is scarce and danger lurks at every turn, can they find a way to keep their newfound family together, or will the cure for humanity come at the ultimate cost?
