500 Miles

In a world that ended without warning, six-year-old Dahlia is left with nothing but a yellow raincoat, a toy boat she refuses to let go of, and miles of empty road ahead of her.

She doesn't cry much anymore. She doesn't talk much either.

She just walks.

At mile 100, she finds them.

A group of survivors trying to stay alive in a world full of the dead.

They don't know what to do with a quiet little girl who barely speaks-but they take her in anyway.

And for the first time since everything fell apart, Dahlia starts to believe she might be safe.

But in a world like this, safety never lasts.

At mile 200, she learns what "family" can look like when it's rebuilt from strangers.
At mile 300, she learns how quickly it can become home.
At mile 400, she learns how easily it can break.
And by mile 500... she learns what it means to keep walking even when everything hurts.

Because in the end, survival isn't just about staying alive.

It's about deciding who you're still living for.
