The Dead Rise as the World Falls... After the first night of the uprising, the lives of four everyday survivors are uprooted by the ravenous undead throngs that pull apart their victims and eat them alive. As their paths intersect, they fight their way through the devastated remains of a city in chaos, doing whatever it takes to stay alive. Mark, a naive highschool student, flees his part time job as one by one, his coworkers turn into bloodthirsty cannibals. A fortunate accident leads to a meeting with Ruth, a middle-aged working mother who saw her own share of horrors that night. Together, the pair take shelter in the New England countryside as the world falls apart around them. Meanwhile, a breaking-and-entering gone wrong puts Connie, a petty scam artist, on the run from the police. In the weeks following the terrifying events of the first night of mayhem, she meets up with Rex, a grizzled survivor with plans to leave the city. Together, they work out the location of a bizarre radio signal that has been interrupting their distress calls... and may be the key to discovering the cause of the uprising. Through hardships and betrayals, the four survivors converge on a secret military operation in an isolated town where they discover the horrifying truth behind the end of the world! The four may have survived the fallout, but will they be able to survive the ravenous dead that shamble in its wake?
