Summary
A year into the outbreak, the group has found refuge within the
walls of an abandoned prison.
Over time, they’ve taken in former citizens of Woodbury,
forging a fragile community amidst
the chaos.
As life slowly begins to settle, bonds form—some falling in love, others learning
to lean on one another.
Yet, amidst this fragile hope, one person grows increasingly restless: Daryl Dixon.
From the start, Daryl has kept his distance, hardened by a
life that taught him attachment is a weakness.
But everything changes one night during a routine watch.
He stumbles upon a wounded and defenseless
boy in the shadows of the prison fence.
Faced with a choice, Daryl must decide: will he turn the boy away,
keeping his walls intact, or risk everything to
offer the kid a chance—and perhaps find hope in the process?
