The rock scene of early 90s Brighton (England) is shaken by the death of a student.

When 5% of the dead reanimate, the most violent are immediately culled. The remaining are trained to do the jobs most dangerous to humans. At Camp Reclaim, Mo must prove their worth to survive a brutal system that strips away humanity piece by piece.

Welcome back to 'life' as one of the 5% who reanimate after death. As a new Zedizen, you train at Camp Reclaim to suppress feral instincts, work in fields deadly to humans, and survive a world that fears you. You’re no longer human—but not yet a monster.
