On a desolate stretch of highway, surrounded by nothing but endless woods, an isolated gas station becomes a strange sanctuary for a group of workers trying to survive. Miles, a clumsy and debt-ridden newcomer, takes a job at the station, hoping to pay off his past and make it back home. But the quiet routine of fueling up truckers and cleaning aisles doesn't stay normal for long.
As Miles gets to know his eccentric coworkers-each with their own secrets and troubled pasts-he begins to notice odd things about the station. Whispers in the dark, strange occurrences, and a growing sense of unease begin to consume him. The longer he stays, the more he realizes that not everything at the station is as it seems, and the people around him may not be who they appear to be.
In this twisted corner of the world, survival isn't just about working the late shift-it's about discovering what's lurking in the shadows... before it's too late.

The undead are vanishing, and those that remain are deteriorating-collapsing, failing, as if something is draining the last remnants of their existence. After finding temporary refuge in Wake Forest with Shane, Eli, and Charlie, Finn begins to feel something unfamiliar: a sense of belonging. But tensions rise, emotions grow complicated, and unable to face the weight of it all, he leaves. On the road, he meets Noah and his small group of survivors, who share disturbing accounts of the dead dropping without warning. Marie, one of Noah's group, reveals that she was cornered by a herd of undead-only for them to collapse around her. And in the moments after, she saw something move. Something unnatural. Something not human. Now, Finn faces an impossible choice: return to the people he left behind or push forward and uncover the truth about what's happening before it's too late. Because whatever force is at play, it isn't just wiping out the dead-it's reshaping the world itself.
