The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and
frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility.
An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to
rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: no
government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled
by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living.
Trapped in a town surrounded by madmen, Rick must find a way out or die
trying. Meanwhile, back at the prison, the rest of the survivors come to grips
with the fact Rick may be dead, and a major turning point in the series is
reached.
