The last thing Edward Schuett remembers is trying to defend his family as the zombie hordes descended on them. When he wakes up he finds his body dead and rotten yet healing quickly. Fifty years have passed and he's been a zombie that entire time, yet something has changed and he is coming back to something resembling life. His existence causes havoc among the rebuilt society of zombie holocaust survivors: some think he's an abomination and want to kill him while others think of him only as a scientific curiosity and want to dissect him.
Plagued by nightmares of what he did as a zombie, Edward must run from everyone including himself. Only one man can tell Edward what is happening to him, but first Edward must cross half the country and risk what little life he has been able to put back together.
