R is a zombie.
He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead.
And then he meets a girl.
First as his prisoner, then as his reluctant guest, Julie is a blast of colour in R's grey landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom.
He doesn't want to eat her, he wants to protect her. He wants to breathe again. He wants to live.
This unlikely bond will cause transformations they can't imagine, but their hopeless world won't change without a fight.
