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?

Twenty years later after the outbreak, Devyn Collins sets out to find the answer to why she's different from everyone else in this post-apocalyptic world. Until one day, she meets Joel and Ellie in Pittsburgh after saving them from a dangerous ambush, and hears out their plan to take Ellie to the Fireflies to find a cure, realizing that she wasn't the only one with the same condition. Although she lies for the safety of her own life.
A/N: This follows the main storyline of the game. I added more and changed a few things for the purpose of my oc Devyn, that includes her backstory and such. This is mainly focused on her and Joel.
