. A young couple was all that stood between humanity and annihilation
. Ill equipped and shocked by the horrors thrust upon them they would fight in the only way they knew how, tooth and nail. Would they be enough to prevent the creation of the feasting hordes? Were they alone able to stand against evil banished from hell?
Would the horsemen ride when humanity failed?
The earth would rue the day a splinter group set up shop in Cold Spring.

. Military forces across the globe have been recalled to defend the homelands as the virus spreads and decimates populations.
