After the events in Nebraska, the Andderson brothers continue their trek northward, joined by Emmett and the girls. The group makes their way through Wyoming to meet up with Tank, the brothers’ closest friend from a time before the apocalypse.

They’re delayed if they come across a school full of over a hundred survivors-most of these children. While Connor disagrees with James’s choice to greatly help them, he comes after his brother’s lead as some drastic occasions makes Adam the unspoken innovator of the huge group. Responsibility weighing heavily on James’s shoulders, they resume their trip north to rendezvous with Container.

Zombies become the least of their worries as the group encounters a new foe hell-bent on their destruction. When the situation goes from bad to even worse, the brothers are met with the terrible reality that regardless of how prepared you are, by the end from the world, death is often right nearby.
