It's been almost a year since a deadly virus has ravaged the earth, and most of the lands are barren and devoid of life. Simon Washington and his eight-year-old daughter Imelda have been out in the wilderness for many months, just about surviving. The father is plagued by events of the past and his goal is to keep his daughter alive. No matter what. The beleaguered pair find sanctuary at a farmhouse, and slowly, day-by-day, they begin to trust strangers that arrive at the farm, seeking refuge. Simon and his newfound friends realise that there are still dangerous people out there, willing to do anything to survive, but there is something more terrifying. The dead.
