Disowned by his aristocratic family and abandoned without rations during an apocalyptic plague, Ethan injects an experimental black-market pathogen into his neck rather than surrender to death. The serum rewires his cellular anatomy, granting him an unprecedented telepathic authority: the ravenous undead perceive him as their absolute sovereign. While terrified survivors scramble south toward fortified civilian outposts, Ethan marches boldly in the opposite direction.
Commanding an expanding legion of flesh-eating horrors, Ethan wages a brutal war against colossal mutant predators barricading critical northern transport bridges. Yet every tactical victory demands a frightening physical toll, slowly muting his mortal emotions and turning his blood necrotic. Ethan must conquer the frozen frontier while fighting to preserve the last flickering spark of his humanity.
