People walk the streets, their eyes dull, and bland. A teenager walks past a sign on the wall of a dark alley. He pauses when he sees white words, the numb, drunk feeling fading. He reads the words. "You have been lied to." The watch-like timer on his wrist buzzes, he pulls out the small pill box and swallows the black pill, and numbness sweeps over him again. He discards the words and moves on along the side walk, ignoring the warning in white. A dark man slips into the alley way with a small can of black paint, he quickly paints over the words before moving on. Keeping everyone in check, just like the government told him to.

What happens when humanity's hope rests on the shoulder of a teenager? Caleb didn't come out of the zombie uprising unscathed. He's been scarred-both mentally and physically. The rest of humanity is trying to rebuild, to make the world normal again. Caleb is trying to return to a normal life also, but after all he's seen, after the loss of his family and friends, the transition is difficult. The darkness that led him down a path of self-doubt and self-harm has never left his mind. Things only become worse when he discovers he's immune to whatever makes a zombie a zombie. Fighting zombies was predictable. He knew what to expect. Fighting humans is volatile. They are malicious and treacherous. They won't stop to get what they want, and Caleb has to figure out exactly what that is. *Trigger warning: Attempted suicide
