Lu Ming took justice into his own hands, killing the powerful man who had used his influence to escape punishment for his mother's wrongful death.
He waited to face judgment under the law, but a horrific car accident struck while he was being transported. He awoke amid the wreckage of a battered police car, confronted by a world that had completely collapsed.
The bustling city was a thing of the past. It had become a lifeless ruin, with zombies roaming the streets and their roars swallowing up every trace of ordinary life. The old order had vanished without a trace.
Burdened by his crimes, Lu Ming; Brian, a helpless orphan; and Du Feng, a complex man who is neither wholly good nor wholly evil, are three strangers forced together by the raging tide of the apocalypse.
At the brink of life and death, cowardice and courage, selfishness and loyalty, suspicion and support all come to light.
Zombies are only the external threat. The unfathomable human heart is the apocalypse's deepest abyss.
This has never been one man's tale of turning his life around. It is the story of a group of unfamiliar survivors struggling to stay alive and press onward through the purgatory of the wasteland, teetering on the edge of good and evil, witnessing humanity's descent while protecting the faint glimmer of hope that remains in their darkest hour.
