As packs of zombies chew on dead people in the mall, Drake and his friends-Sullivan, Emma, and Jacob-head for the government survival bunker. Joined by seventeen-year old twins and their father, the band of adventurers soon find themselves stuck facing a ruthless zombie army, hostile military forces, and psychopathic survivors. In the midst of a shootout with soldiers, Drake falls into a deep hole and finds himself in a tunnel system ravaged by acid-spitting zombies. Finally pulled to safety by futuristic warriors, Drake thinks he has survived-only to encounter something much worse than he could ever have imagined.
