The orphan, Jack Sullivan, had a pretty boring life before the apocalypse wiped out most of humanity. Now, legions of undead roam the streets, and monsters have free reign on their path to destruction. Jack, taking advantage of the apocalypse, loves his new life. Rounding up his friends, nerdy tech expert best friend Quint, the reformed neighborhood monster-slaying bully Dirk and Jack’s not-so-secret crush, the athlete June Del Toro. Living in their kitted-out treehouse, they enjoy the freedom the end of the world allows by playing video games, eating junk food, and battling zombies and monsters.
