What do you do when you realise that your beliefs about the dead are all wrong? And the cute boy you've been crushing on ends up being bitten by a zombie? A cute LGBT+ YA apocalypse setting with themes of betrayal and loss, showing the life of teenager Peter in his life living in the middle of the Wranglestone National Park Lake. It opens with classic themes of the apocalypse, but with his crush getting bitten and kidnapped, Peter must leave the safety of his home town but ends up uncovering more than just who took Cooper.
Moderate: Body horror, Death, Gun violence, Violence, Blood, Grief, Death of parent, Alcohol, and Pandemic/Epidemic
