Plot Summary

In the year 2047, Earth has become a wasteland after a catastrophic viral outbreak wiped out most of humanity. What remains is a barren, hostile world overrun by ravenous, mutated creatures known as The Infected. The virus not only reanimates the dead but also evolves them—some grow faster, some smarter, and some become predators unlike anything mankind has ever seen.

Eleanor Hayes, a hardened survivor, is on a desperate mission to reach “Eden”, a rumored safe haven deep within the heart of the wasteland. Along the way, she crosses paths with Daniel Carter, a former scientist who holds the key to stopping the infection. Together, they must navigate a world where trust is scarce, danger lurks in every shadow, and the dead are not the only threat.

As they battle through abandoned cities, underground bunkers, and mutant-infested forests, they uncover a horrifying truth—the virus was never an accident. Someone, or something, is still controlling it.
