Ryan Laughlin and his wife, Deborah, have plans to move to a new city, find new jobs, and expand their family. But days before their move, a tragic mystery rips their plans and lives apart. As Ryan wakes one morning and finds that Deborah has inexplicably become a zombie, his life is thrown into a storm of loss and pain, a storm that continually haunts him with one question-if Deborah never came into contact with one of the undead, how did she ever become infected? This is the tale of Ryan's desperate search for the truth, and of his bloody battle to survive against insurmountable odds.
