In the year 20XX, a hail of meteors bombarded Earth. Flames and dust choked the planet, blocking out the sun and killing nearly all vegetation...reducing the world to a harsh, barren wasteland. But that was not the only disaster that awaited humanity...

Hidden within the fallen meteors was a mysterious virus which infected the dead and resurrected them as zombies—mindless creatures who would then turn and attack the living. Any who fell to them would become zombies themselves, and it wasn't long before the ZiV pandemic had spread across the globe.

Decades passed... Humanity was on its last legs, with the new law of the land being survival at all costs. The planet had precious few resources left to sustain life. What humans remained were at constant odds in a selfish bid to stay alive...leaving the weak to be crushed underfoot.
