It was the year 2000. Numerous reports of rabid animal attacks began to occur sporadically throughout the northern parts of United States. Many blamed these assaults on environmental changes that affected the neurology of the wildlife. And once bitten by these animals, humans found themselves transformed into mindless carnivorous beings akin to zombies. But these reports soon became more widespread, and the last and only place that had not been infected at that time was the great Mississippi region.

Well that was then...this is now.

The walking dead have begun to make their presence felt here and all manner of mutated creatures are crossing the Mississippi River every day. Life has become an ongoing struggle for survival.
