One year and one day ago, Tony was living a normal life in his home town of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. A normal life in Uniontown, a town about forty-five miles southeast of Pittsburgh and fifteen miles north of the West Virginia border, was a simple and quiet life. It consisted of rooting for the Steeler’s football team in the fall and winter, tolerating the Pirate’s baseball team during the summer and hanging out with the guys.
One year ago, that all changed. Within days, the residents of Uniontown had become infected, died and then unbelievably came back to life. More accurately, the dead began to rise and attack the living. Other than the fact they moved, little else about the dead resembled life in any way. Within days, Tony saw his family, one by one, become infected and die. A nightmare that was only beginning.
Tony escaped and found some of his friends that had also managed to survive. They banded together to try and survive the relentless pursuit of the dead, the snow and cold of the approaching Pennsylvania winter and to find enough food to keep from starving to death. By spring, Tony was the only one of his group that was still alive. He witnessed his friends die over the cold winter months. Their lives were claimed by the cold, by disease, by accidents and by the dead.
One year later, Tony finds himself alone and barricaded in an old warehouse surrounded by the dead. He is desperately trying to find a way to survive and cling to his hope of one day finding another living being. Over the next week, Tony will have to rely on all of his knowledge and experience to survive as he confronts his hopes and his worst nightmares.
