A troubled woman marches west across the great, barren prairie. Suffering from a mental trauma, she's barely aware of the grim changes that have consumed the world around her. She avoids the dead, hides from people, and wanders westward in a daze. Hungry and tired, she finds her way to Montana, where she is taken prisoner on an Indian reservation run by a man with an iron fist and a cold heart.

The world has ended, the dead walk the earth, and a profound silence has fallen over the land. Two children, brother and sister, survive together on an isolated Montana farm. Their days are simple - find food, avoid the dead. They are the remnants of civilization, refugees from a vanished world. Whispers of a new civilization in the New Mexico desert and a chance encounter with a band of renegade soldiers convince them to strike out on the open road, to abandon the relative safety of the farm and fall in with strangers. But the living may be worse than the dead.

Imagine everyone wearing a mask, and nobody talks. People communicate via a satchel full of printed responses.
