Während die Welt von Krisenherden erschüttert wird, tritt plötzlich eine noch weitaus größere Bedrohung auf den Plan. Ein Grippevirus von nie da gewesener Aggressivität breitet sich unaufhaltsam aus und verwandelt die Opfer in mordgierige Untote. Acht Soldaten, die es gewohnt sind, im Verborgenen zu operieren, geraten auf diese Weise plötzlich in eine Falle. Eine Gefahr, mit der keiner gerechnet hat und auf die man sich nicht vorbereiten konnte. Doch offiziell hat niemand Kenntnis von ihnen – und sie gelten als entbehrlich. Völlig auf sich allein gestellt, müssen Stan und seine Männer nun ums nackte Überleben kämpfen. In einer Welt, wo der Tod erst der Anfang von etwas noch Schrecklicherem ist …

The world is dead. The army of walking corpses have conquered all before them and only small pockets of humanity remain. As the cities slowly crumble, the survivors are facing their first winter in the new order while an immense horde of festering un-dead surrounds their walls, threatening their continued safety. While Steve and Marcus struggle to keep their small band alive, a new threat looms over the horizon; a danger that no one could have perceived, and more devastating than the 'dead plague'.

It has been twelve years since the dead began to walk. The Earth is overrun with the rotting corpses of humanity that swarm through the lands and devour everything in their path. The cities have become graveyards, their tall buildings morphing into giant, crumbling tombstones that watch over the carcasses of civilisation while small clusters of the living hide amongst the ruins. The base is surrounded and running low on supplies, ammunition, and above all...hope. As the people within the fortress walls slowly suffer the same fate that has befallen the rest of the world, they realise that the time has come for them to leave. Under the leadership of Tina, the survivors must confront their worst fears, and venture out into the infested wasteland to find a new place to live before it is too late. Stan and his men are also searching for a new beginning. With virtually nothing left for them to scavenge during their raiding parties to the shore, they need to look elsewhere, but they cannot do it alone. Seeing no other choice, they launch one final and daring mission to the mainland in a bid to ensure their continued survival.

The world has turned the colour of blood. The final strongholds in Europe and the United States have been extinguished in an orgy of tearing flesh and snapping teeth. The legions of dead swarm across the lands, growing in number as they infest the planet. Their insatiable hunger for living flesh is the only thing that drives them and is impossible to abate. The city of London has become nothing more than a graveyard for the troops of Group South. Barely a handful of soldiers made it out of the bubbling cauldron and now, on the Isle of Wight, the war continues. In a desperate struggle to control the scraps of humanity, the living turn on one another with a savagery unsurpassed by the armies of walking dead. As anarchy erupts, Stan and his team find themselves as the centre of unwanted attention and are drawn into a vicious battle of attrition. Caught between the living and the dead and with few options it soon becomes clear that the mainland, overrun with the infected, is their only chance at survival.

The mainland is lost, conquered by the armies of walking dead that now roam the earth, consuming all in their path as they spread like a black plague through the wasteland that had once been civilisation. As the remains of the human race retreat to the islands, clinging to them like life rafts in an ocean of terror, the ravenous monsters, the evil shadows of humanity, become the dominant species on the planet. Disease, famine, and death begin to spread through the cramped refugee camps, threatening the continued existence of the living and forcing the remnants of the government and armed forces to begin an offensive that would recapture the ground that they have lost to the infected hordes. The survivors of the team, finding themselves placed at the spearhead of the great counterstrike, are given a special mission that would help tip the scales against their rotting enemy. Now they must fight for the entire world.
