Jake is a slacker burnout whose idea of the perfect last night on Earth is playing video games in his basement.

Amanda is the most popular girl in school, who doesn't even know Jake's name.

Cass is the teen psychic sent by the government to hunt them down.

Until last week, Jake, Amanda, and Cass had no reason to think their lives would ever intersect. But that was before Jake and Amanda contracted a mysterious zombie virus, devoured half their senior class, and took off for Iowa in search of a cure. As the two of them grapple with the existential guilt of eating their best friends (and their growing attraction to each other), Cass struggles with a psychic dilemma of her own—one that will lead the three of them on an epic journey across the country and make them question what it means to truly be alive. Or undead.
