In a world overrun by the undead, with no experience in parenthood and an empty past that haunts her every step, Vicki is the last person you'd expect to be a caregiver. A borderline alcoholic struggling to keep her own demons at bay, she's suddenly thrust into the role of protector for two young children.
 
But just as they think they can take a breath and relax, tragedy strikes, leaving Vicki and the kids alone with a mysterious newcomer. Desperate for safety and a sense of belonging, they join forces, forming a fragile survival group.
 
As the days turn into weeks and the bond between Vicki and the children deepens, she discovers that she may need them as much as they need her. Together, they navigate a world where the line between life and death is blurred, finding hope and humanity in the most unexpected places.
 
Yet, the zombies are not their only threat.
