In a world where the dead walk and the living are often worse, Archie Walsh is trying to survive more than just the apocalypse-he's trying to outrun the man he might become.

The son of Shane Walsh, Archie grows up under the weight of fists, fear, and a warped idea of what it means to be strong. Love is something he's never learned how to recognize-only something he's been taught to endure. As the world collapses, the rules change, but the damage doesn't disappear. If anything, it follows him.

The only thing that ever felt real was Carl-his best friend, his constant, the one person who made the noise in his head quiet down. But when friendship turns into something deeper, something Archie can't ignore, it shatters just as quickly. Because Carl doesn't feel the same. And in a world already falling apart, rejection hits harder than any walker ever could.

Left alone with his anger, his confusion, and everything he's been taught to bury, Archie spirals-caught between who he is and who he's terrified of becoming. As survival demands harder choices and colder instincts, he's forced to ask himself one question:

Can you escape your past...
or does it follow you to the end of the world?
