Shells of their former selves, intent on turning anything into a meal. Will Earl's sanity stay with him long enough to get his loved ones to safety? To live through a second apocalypse? Maybe he's not meant to live. Cursed to forever run from the infected family and friends he has come to know and love. Or maybe he just needs some help. Friendship is magic after all...
