   Summary

   Will and Mike are out looking for the latest comic in their favorite series when a zombie outbreak isolates them from their families. Now it’s up to the two of them to get to this so-called “safe haven” located up north. The only problem is brain-eating zombies, cold temperatures, making sure there is enough supplies to last the long days and nights, and this tension between Mike and Will that they can’t seem to shake.

   Will they be able to make it to their destination without dying or confessing their true feelings?
