After a nightmarish disease brings the dead back to life, Ethan finds himself alone with nothing but his notebook of memories and a machete. Determined to survive, he gathers a group of his old classmates, and together they build a fortress to defend their resources. In the End Times, zombies are the least of their worries.

But personal conflicts make it impossible for Ethan and his friends to work as a team. Worse, Ethan hides a secret that threatens their tenuous alliance-and their lives. Unfortunately, secrets, like the dead, won't stay buried.
