The walking dead are no more, but their decaying footprint remains.

The world is still in chaos, and people still fight to survive day to day. Cannibals, slavery and other atrocities still continue. It’s as if the walking dead were still around.

Still dealing with the loss of one of their own, Henry Watson and his fellow companions make their way through this apocalyptic landscape, still hoping to find someplace to call home, where they can put down roots.

Traveling to Alaska, wanting to get the stink of the rotting dead from their noses, the companions soon learn that the former USSR is raising its mighty head once more. The Soviet Union, stuck in the past, sees the fall of the walking dead as a chance to invade the United States, to finally bring back Mother Russia to its former glory. And there is only one way to do that: crush America under its heel.

A ragged army of Russian soldiers is using the Bering Strait to cross into America, their intent to use Alaska as a staging ground for the invasion.

Though the living dead are gone, the world is still a very dangerous place, and the struggle to survive continues.
