Another take off from the traditional zombie myth - these zombies are called Beaters (Body Eaters) and are NOT dead! They've been infected with a disease that rotted out their minds, but they still live and breath. Excellent! To top it off, eco-terrorist attacks have really screwed up the California landscape, and it's every man (and woman) for him(her)self.

This is all backdrop for Cass Dollar. She's been separated from her toddler, Ruthie, and must find her. Cass' search will take her all over this barren landscape, starting when she wakes up in the wilderness with no memory of what happened that took Ruthie away from her.
