In a post-apocalyptic world where a virus has begun to transform humans into zombies, a devoted father faces the most heartbreaking reality of his life. The story follows Wade, a man who has lived in the shadow of devastation and despair, as he tries to protect his daughter Maggie, who has been infected by the lethal pathogen. As the disease progresses and the young girl begins to show symptoms of her inevitable transformation, Wade finds himself trapped between his love for the girl and the harsh reality that, with each passing day, she drifts further away from the child he knows.
As Maggie grapples with her new identity, her pain and her yearning to hold onto her humanity are reflected. Wade, in turn, becomes a beacon of support and compassion, a father figure who does not want to give in to hopelessness. The bond between them becomes a crucible of emotions, ranging from sadness and fear to moments of tenderness and unconditional love.
Days go by, and the social pressure to take what many consider the "right" path increases: even a father's love can be challenged by the cruel logic of survival. In a heartbreaking twist, Wade must confront the most difficult decision of his life: Can love save someone who is already slipping away? Emerging is a reflection on loss, desolation, and the search for hope in the darkest of places.
