In Eastern Washington, a group of young ranchers form a secret alliance to hunt the gray wolves that are continually preying on their herds. Using a hidden site on the dark web, they coordinate illegal kills, leaving a trail of poached carcasses and baffled authorities. Miles away, a wealthy environmentalist who helped reintroduce the wolves to the region decades earlier reads about the so-called wolf-killing “Renegades” in The Seattle Times.

With their supplies reclaimed and food enough for the future, the group at Barry's cabin can do more than just scrape by. Between fruitful gardens, great friends, and sturdy fences—not to mention karaoke—life in the zompoc is better than ever. Nothing is perfect, however.

As the unknown danger closes in and smoke begins to fill the sky, the survivors are all too aware of how quickly plans unravel, fences fall, and luck runs out.

Rose Winter has enough problems. With a marriage going down the tubes and a dreaded anniversary party on the horizon, the last thing she needs is the zombie apocalypse. She wanted to get drunk and sing karaoke, not murder her undead neighbors. It’s clear the party’s over, however, now Rose has more problems - a missing husband, an overbearing houseguest, and keeping her family alive.

There's one catch, however—between last spring's human exodus and a neighboring group's stockpiles, there's no food left to scavenge.

As winter sets in, and their food dwindles to nothing, they discover how far they'll go to save the ones they love.

Whether romantic or platonic, changing relationships prove tricky for Rose, Tom, Clara, and Craig—never mind adapting to the new not-so-normal. Being surrounded by the undead is bad enough, but with a tyrant-in-training running their Safe Zone, it’s that much worse.
