Ethan, an unassuming worker in a burger joint, possesses a mysterious power where anything he says about others becomes reality, while whatever he says about himself has the opposite effect. The catch: every effect comes with unforeseen, sometimes ironic consequences, shaping events unpredictably. Alongside his dufus friend Jake, they've co-founded a hidden startup, EchoTech, with unknown significance, possibly connected to Ethan's powers.

All were dead except for one: a young boy like him. As they were meeting, they saw the other dead bodies... walk. How was this possible? They were already dead... but now they're walking. And they're not who they were anymore. White-soulless eyes, weather beaten flesh, mindless flesh-eaters.
