Forty days have passed since the end of the world began. Billions
of people were killed in less than half a day and now the entire
world is rotting. Everything is disintegrating ...Survivors are few
and far between in this deadly environment, and those who are still
alive are forced to deal with a nightmare situation: the scale of
the devastation is unprecedented. The shadowy landscape is swarming
with the dead, their decaying bodies deteriorating day by day.
Limited by their appalling physical condition, the only emotions
they are able to display are anger, rage and hate and yet,
remarkably, they are becoming more controlled. They are becoming
self-aware, and they will defend themselves at all costs. A group
of eleven men and woman have managed to survive against the odds,
protected by the geography of the land and sheltering in a derelict
block of flats. They have been surrounded for weeks, but they have
always been in control. Until now. For the bodies are advancing.
The situation is changing.
