Alone. That's all you can be in this world. A world full of stiffs, runners, and brutes. "Watch out for those," they say, "don't want to get bit and end up like them-lifeless."
Scout was recently found by a group of teens near the outskirts of Fort Collins, Colorado. A serious outbreak threatens mankind's existence and turns humans into creatures known as lifeless. The lifeless (zombies) come in three categories: stiffs barely walk around and have melting flesh, runners are agile and will chase after their prey even if they are split in half, and the worst of them all- brutes.
Scout and the group of teens have to try to fight their way through this vicious zombies in order to make it to the Safe House. The Safe House is where survivors are welcomed and rumor has it that they hold the cure to all of mankind. Will Scout and the last surviving teens make it alive?
Through blood, guns and lost of loved ones, the only thing you can be in this world is alone.
