The previous season of The Walking Dead ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group's lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive. Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them. After all they've seen, all they've done, all they've sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost. Who do they become?

Everly is a resilient woman who has always been good at taking care of herself. Unfortunately, she managed to fall in love with the wrong person. She was able to get out of that bad relationship, but her ex is not content to simply move on with his life. Instead, it seems that he will not be happy until he has destroyed hers. Since he happens to be a mob boss, he has a lot of tools at his disposal. Everly soon finds herself facing down professional assassins in her apartment. She's tough, but can she survive this deadly encounter?
