In the land of the dead, four friends search for the key to life...Still reeling from the terror and tragedy that has followed them across the Rot and Ruin, Benny, Nix, Lilah and Chong search for the jet they saw in the skies months ago. Because it means that humanity itself must have survived...somewhere. They encounter fierce animals and death cults, not to mention the zombies-swarms devouring everything in their paths. And these zoms are different. Faster, smarter, and infinitely more dangerous. Has the zombie plague mutated, or is there something far more sinister behind this new invasion of the living dead? One thing Benny and his companions can't afford to forget: In the great Rot and Ruin, everything wants to kill you.
