Résumé
A pandemic has devastated the planet, sorting humanity into two types : the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead.

Armed forces have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street - aka 'Zone One' - and teams of civilian volunteers are clearing out the remaining infected 'stragglers'. Mark Spitz is a member of one of these taskforces and over three surreal days he undertakes the mundane mission of malfunctioning zombie removal, the rigours of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder, and attempting to come to terms with a fallen world.
