Description: Set in the present-day Midwestern United States, society faces chaos following a zombie pandemic known as Necroambulism. Maggie Vogel, bitten by a zombie, leaves her family to protect them, recording a voicemail for her father, Wade, urging him not to search for her. Despite her warning, Wade spends two weeks looking for her and eventually finds her in a hospital for the infected. He brings her home to care for her as her condition worsens. On their way back, Wade defends himself against a zombie attack at an abandoned gas station.
At home, Maggie’s younger siblings, Bobby and Molly, are sent to stay with their aunt. Maggie speaks to Bobby, who partially grasps her situation. As her infection progresses, Maggie isolates herself, conflicted about reconnecting with her friends. After a fall breaks a finger on her infected arm, black fluid seeps from the wound. Desperate and terrified, she cuts off the finger. Later, she encounters a neighbor, Nathan, and his daughter, both infected and zombified. Wade kills them but is deeply remorseful.
A kind doctor falsifies Maggie’s medical report to reassure her but warns Wade that if he wants to spare her from quarantine, he must euthanize her himself, either with a painful drug cocktail or a swift method. Wade and Maggie cherish their remaining time together, reminiscing about Maggie’s late mother. Despite her deteriorating condition—waking to find maggots in her decaying arm—Maggie strives to maintain a sense of normalcy.
