Rebecca Daniels, better known as "Guns" is the leader of a small group of teenagers, all survivors in the global zombie pandemic/Apocalypse. They call themselves "The Beehive" because of their organization and functionality. Guns is wounded in a freak explosion in a mall, leaving Hawk, the new girl Freasha, and the German-speaking Arthur to figure out how to survive and escape back to the shipping yard they call home.
