Greywater Bay is a quiet town, but its history is about as cloudy as its name suggests. One night, after a particularly bad attack on the town's incoming supply wagons, the dead in the graveyard suddenly rise, and an unstoppable fire breaks out. The town is lost, and Thomas and Joe - sheriff and deputy - must lead its residents to safety. They hit the road, heading for a distant ranch owned by an old friend where they know they'll be welcome. But the journey is not easy. Creatures, undead and seemingly unkillable, stalk them, spreading an infection that kills the host in mere days. Many are infected, and more still are lost to the dangers of the American frontier. Desperate and running out of options, Thomas begins to question his leadership. He is not the only one. A voice calls to him, cryptic and commanding. It sends him on a mission that may just determine the fate of their cursed world. Will he obey the voice, or will history repeat itself again?
