Opis

The Earth is the focus of this season's popular apocalypse reality show in the Boreling Empire. The Borelings have simulated an EMP event, an electromagnetic pulse, that has disabled all sophisticated microelectronics, including cars, aircraft, power and communication systems. In addition to the EMP, the Borelings engineered a bio-infester designed to transform a portion of the population into zombie-like bio-creatures.

In San Diego, a young high school sophomore has already battled zombies and kidnappers in her attempt to reach her father's sailboat less than a mile away. She hooks up with a former Army ranger who equips her with more weapons and gear, but they become trapped in his garage as a zombie horde invades the house.

In Northern Massachusetts, a young man watches his father die, killed by a man as they attempt to help an old couple with a working truck. He manages to escape, but kills the man's son during the confrontation. Now he must dodge both zombies and a hunter bent on revenge as he and a young woman make their way through the thick woods to reach the safety of his home.

A former professor, adept in both biology and technical research, is holed up in a set of bunkers he built after his narrow escape from Egypt during the Arab Spring. As he observes both the effects of the EMP and the impossible zombies, he begins to suspect that someone is manipulating events.

Back in the Boreling Empire, Grodge the Merciful, a Senior Production Assistant for the Scary Mayhem Planet Reality Apocalypse Show, is scheming to move up in rank. The chaotic beginning of the new season provides the perfect opportunity for him to sabotage his boss, Senior Production Manager Pactain the Virulent.
