apocalypse cure horror immune lgbt ruins survive wasteland wlw zombie

Sheltered Rhoda has no desire to leave the town of Holmes. She has everything she needs including Daniel, the man who raised her. Even better, no zombies. Then Daniel contracts the virus and the town is low on antigen. Rhoda must decide: remain for his final days or do whatever it takes to keep him alive.

Sloane is a Grifter; she acquires rare goods, tracks zombies, and combats "juiced" Turns. For a price. When Rhoda seeks her help, Sloane resists. She doesn't make time for hopeless causes especially ones that don't pay. Though, as the pair face off, Rhoda realizes Sloane may not be as heartless as she acts.

By luck or by fate, these two cross paths. Their journey is one of love, loss, horror and survival against monsters, both dead and living.All Rights Reserved
