In a world overrun by the undead, survival is only for those who can fight, flee, or hide. Young and soft-hearted Jake has managed to survive this far, but the scars of his past weight heavily on him. As a child, he witnessed his parents being devoured in front of him, leaving him traumatized and afraid to trust anyone. Since then, Jake has been navigating this nightmarish world alone, haunted by nightmares and flashes of that horrifying day.
Enter Heeseung, a former soldier and survivalist with an unbreakable will and unmatched strength. When Heeseung stumbles upon Jake during a zombie attack, he instantly recognizes something broken yet incredibly resilient in him. Drawn by an overwhelming need to protect, Heeseung saves Jake from certain death and offers him a chance to join his group of survivors.
Together, they form a bond that quickly grows into something deeper. Heeseung becomes Jake's anchor, using his strength to fend off both zombies and the darkest corners of Jake's mind. Through every attack and every narrow escape, Heeseung's protective nature keeps Jake safe, slowly helping him confront the trauma and memories that haunt him.
As Jake and Heeseung face ruthless gangs, relentless undead, and the constant dangers of an apocalyptic wasteland, Heeseung never wavers. He stands as a shield against the horrors of the world, and Jake becomes his reason to keep fighting. While Jake starts to heal, he begins to realize that even in the darkest times, he can find hope and love and maybe even a new family.
After the events of Swanston, Killian-Grey struggles to prove himself to the group after being branded as a traitor--especially when competing with his rival Casimir, while Jasper struggles being heralded as a hero. Even when they're both together, they've never felt so apart. Will their growing feelings blossom into a life-changing romance, or will they forever be separated by their new ranks within the group?
Meanwhile something is brewing beneath the surface, a growing threat becoming more and more persistent. The group's lives are on the line as they fight to keep themselves safe. When a group member goes missing, the real traitor will be revealed, and all Hell will break loose.
