Summary

After a zombie outbreak destroyed civilization humanity has begun to rebuild. Many humans are gathered in fortified quarantine zones called "The Recession." There, life is very similar to the way it was before the outbreak, and people look forward to one day winning the world back from the rotting clutches of the undead. However, not all people are so lucky. There are still ramshackle survivor colonies existing in "The Loss," a lawless wasteland outside The Recession. These men and women are desperate to live. Some are desperate to buy their way into The Recession, by any means necessary. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
