Deacon St. John is a former outlaw scraping by in the Pacific Northwest after a pandemic transformed much of humanity into feral creatures called Freakers. Driven by the belief that his wife Sarah may still be alive, Deacon navigates a world full of hostile survivor factions, Freaker hordes, and the unresolved weight of his past. As he searches for her and fights to stay alive, he forms new alliances and confronts truths about resilience and loss he was not ready to face.
