In a world where the dead don’t stay buried and hope is a rare luxury, Nicole, Jason, and their makeshift family have carved out a fragile existence. Hidden deep within the ruins of an abandoned neighborhood, they’ve built something that almost feels like safety — a home held together by loyalty, loss, and the stubborn will to survive. Every day is a fight against the hunger, the fear, and the ghosts of the world they once knew. Then everything changes the day Jade and Stormi stumble upon their refuge — two wary survivors searching for any sign of life. Strangers at first glance, they bring with them a story that sounds too good to be true: rumors of a survivor colony, a distant haven where food still grows, walls still stand, and people are learning to live again. For the first time in months, Nicole and her group allow themselves to believe that there might be more than just surviving — there might be a future.

Driven by that fragile spark of hope, they set out with Jade and Stormi to find the colony, gathering supplies and searching for other survivors as they travel through the desolate remains of the world. But the road ahead is perilous. Will they make it to the colony — or will the road to salvation destroy them first?
