It's the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in
Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead
outside won't stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it
takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous
version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn't
sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since
then, she's failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems
like the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits
for the barricades to fall, she's forced to witness the
apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want
to live. But as the days crawl by, the motivations for
survival change in startling ways and soon the group's fate
is determined less and less by what's happening outside and
more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life
- and death - inside. When everything is gone, what do you
hold on to?
