The world has been dead for four years, and seventeen year old J and her small girl-group are getting very tired of it; repeating the same actions over and over until the day when a zombie comes a bit too close and eats you up. When Adrian - a young man that J despises from the very beginning - comes along with stories about a safe haven, a town without zombies, hope is reinforced in the group, but who is Adrian really and is the town really what he says it is? "The art of dying" is a story about life and death, relationships and relationshits – and about zombies – told in a humoristic way.
