In 2010 the zombie apocalypse came.
It didn't end the world. It rewired it.
The year is 2025, fifteen years after The Outbreak. The infected, known as The Hollowed, are not corpses brought back to life. They are victims of an unknown neuro-parasitic organism that sustains basic motor and sensory functions but strips away human behavior, emotion, and moral reasoning. These beings are deteriorating slowly—not immortal, just clinically altered.
To survive, they feed — seeking the very tissues that once made them whole.
In the aftermath, society has stabilized behind walls as flourishing cities. And within the walls of San Francisco, there is a peculiar individual.
Dr. Brian Mosbey is a highly respected American neurologist amongst his colleagues, protected by institutions, and quietly admired for his insight into Hollowed physiology. But beneath his practiced calm and clinical brilliance lies an impossible truth:
He is one of them.
Unlike the others, Mosbey has retained his mind, his memories, and his sense of self. To his knowledge, he is the only known infected whose neuro-integrity remains intact. His secret? Perhaps it was fate.
Mosbey knows what he's becoming.
He also knows what he must do.
Now, in a world governed by research syndicates, black-market cortex trades, and ethical grey zones, Dr. Mosbey embarks on a quest — To cure himself. To rebuild the missing biochemical pathways. To reawaken the soul of the species. To restore humanity as it was.
But the deeper he digs, the more horrifying the truth becomes:
The outbreak wasn't random.
The organism isn't done evolving.
And perhaps…
Humanity was never that human to begin with.
