Six months have passed since the terrifying battle with Charlie Pink-eye and the Motor City Hammer in the zombie-infested mountains of the Rot and Ruin.

It's also six months since Benny Imura and Nix Riley saw something in the air that changed their lives.

Now, after months of rigorous training with Benny's zombie-hunter brother Tom, Benny and Nix are ready to leave their home forever and search for a better future.

Lilah the Lost Girl and Benny's best friend Lou Chong are going with them.

Sounds wonderful. Except that everything that can go wrong does. And not everyone in Benny's small band of travellers will make it out alive.
