Meet Zachary Kwan, a middling novelist trapped in a bout of writerās block. His marriage to a celebrity model is on the rocks, his latest book is met with scathing reviews, and heās about to be cancelled. Things really couldnāt get any worse.
Spoiler alert: they do.
A zombie epidemic takes over the world. And Zachary Kwan, writer of best-selling self-help book under a pseudonym, is infected.
