It's the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but she
lter is little comfort when the dead outside won't stop pounding on the doors. O
ne bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous vers
ion of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn't sound so bad. Six months
ago, her world collapsed and since then, she's failed to find a reason to keep
going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits for t
he barricades to fall, she's forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes o
f five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, the motivatio
ns for survival change in startling ways and soon the group's fate is determined
less and less by what's happening outside and more and more by the unpredictabl
e and violent bids for life - and death - inside. When everything is gone, what
do you hold on to?
