Based in Asheville, NC we get a glimpse of the whispering pines community. Jace and his family live in and love whispering pines. Since the zombie apocalypse the president of the homeowners association has ran the community like a tight ship. She is dictatorish in her leadership style and when Jace is sent out on an expedition their perfect community come crashing down. The post apocalyptic world they have been living in is not as things really are. Their gated community has kept out many bad things but also kept out lots of good.
