She’s cute. She’s sweet. And she wants to kill you.

Discovered wandering alone on a Kansas street a year after the zombie apocalypse, a young girl named Holly has been brought to Reclaimed Lincoln, Nebraska, and placed in foster care. Infected with a milder form of the H1Z1 virus, she regresses occasionally into a mindless, violent state that terrifies her foster family.

Incredulous that a child could survive a year alone among zombies, seventeen-year-old Corey and his best friend Isaac ditch school to investigate the facts of Holly’s story. But what they find is much more than they bargained for.
