Nothing stays the way we want it to. A virus that went awry and a plague of zombies made sure of that. Cali Anglin learned the hard way. Before, her life was simple. She was a mom, a wife, and a nurse. Now she is in a fight of her life to save her family, her neighbors, and herself. How do you survive the zombie apocalypse with your humanity intact?

Driven out of their home after the marauders took so much from the group, the survivors leave California to find safety in Idaho with the rest of Trent’s family. With only a last known address to shoot for, the survivors set off on a journey along highway 15. In a zombie ravaged world where everything has changed, the group has only one hope, that they will not lose themselves in the race to find their next safe area. Highway 15 is their best chance to get to that illusive safety net, but that safety will not come without a cost. How much would you be willing to pay for a chance to begin again?

As the zombie apocalypse rages on, Cali and her family continue to struggle with the stress of day-to-day life in this wasteland of limited food and resources. Though they have found refuge in Idaho, they are looking for something more, and a small town in Montana may be the perfect fit. After they move, they get a message of hope from an unlikely source, telling them about Ireland; a safe zone, free from the undead. This leaves them with an impossible decision—do they risk their lives crossing the country to get to a boat bound for a zombie-free home, or do they stay put and make the best with what they have? In this final book of Cali's journey, how far will they go to feel like they will be truly alive once more?
