The vibe

With a new virus spreading and lockdown looming, Maisie Bennett has one urgent bucket-list goal: get laid. The only problem? She’s an anxious doomsday prepper who’s never made it past a first date. So when a handsome professor swipes right, she vows to act normal—and, for once, leave her taser at home.

Dr. Everett Greer is a nerdy film professor who’s lost his lust for life after a personal tragedy. He only shows up because his best friend catfished him into it, hoping to force him back “out there.” Maisie turns out to be sweet (and weirdly prepared), with clinking cargo pockets and a utility belt full of… are those weapons?

Then their awkward date goes from bad to apocalypse-level when a nasty GI virus starts killing people—and reanimating them into flesh-eating zombies. Which is exactly why Everett doesn’t date anymore.

As the country collapses, Maisie and Everett become an unlikely team of two—well, three, if you count Everett’s cat, Chicken—road-tripping north toward a chance at safety. Along the way, they strike a deal: Maisie will teach Everett how to survive, and Everett will teach Maisie how to live—through movies, travel, and, to Maisie’s delight, sex lessons. But when feelings get involved, the biggest danger might not be losing their brains to zombies… it might be losing their hearts to each other.
