Maggie Greene feels all alone in the world. Her mom (and her mom's new boyfriend) are very abusive. Maggie only puts up with them to protect her younger sister, Beth. Now it's senior year at Alexandria High and Maggie is about to give up and think that maybe her life will always remain the same. That's until she meets the new boy at school, Glenn Rhee. The pizza delivery boy. She thinks that his life is perfect but as it turns out, Glenn is just as lonely and wanting escape just like her.
