Zooey has been snatched from her home by the Z-Division of the National Guard and thrown into a gated town for the Undead. Her only escape is when she takes the forty-five minute bike ride back into the city of Boston to work as a zombie in an escape room, ironically. But fate deals her a generous hand when her soldier friend, Miles, is reassigned to be the guard at her new apartment complex. Miles tries to brighten Zooey's bleak surroundings but she resists, afraid of being stuck there permanently. Zooey tries to find solace in her only Undead friend, Ren, but he is distracted cooking up a new drug to help the Undead become a superior race to fight for their rights and win. Meanwhile, Zooey's best friend, Elizabeth, is interning under Christine Moore (Yes, the Christine Moore from the popular Dead Soil trilogy!), the world famous Undead lawyer and activist. Together, they will try to win back the freedom the Undead of Boston deserve. But could Ren's new drug derail all their hard work? And will Zooey be able to survive this new level of prejudice society is throwing at her?
