The narrative follows Captain Jacob Billet as he navigates the aftermath of a three-month coma. His physical state is deteriorating, and he knows his time is limited. He must reach his old homestead before his condition forces him onto an undesirable path. Meanwhile, Grand Rapids faces destruction from Anti-Zombie Loyalists who follow the legacy of William Lettner.
