Between her cheating husband and her on-air meltdown, Marzie Nowak is going through a bit of a bad spell and a heck of a midlife crisis. Her kids have flown the coop to college, and her husband has opted to trade her in for a younger model. With nowhere else to turn, the ex-big-city journalist crawls back to her superstitious hometown of Widow's Bay just in time for their annual pagan festival. Her new, much less glamorous gig has her reporting for a local news website.

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.
