Recently laid off, Jack Heart uses his time away from work to fulfill a lifelong dream: hiking the Appalachian Trail. In winter. After fighting off a sickly black bear, Jack decides to take a break from the Trail. However, he quickly realizes his problems are much greater than rogue wildlife. A toxic beef supply has turned millions of people into flesh hungry corpses, and cities are putting themselves under quarantine.
