The only thing in life that is guaranteed is death, but what happens when the dead don't die ? Imagine the world around us changed forever as an infection has spread throughout humanity. For decades the war against the undead has decimated mankind and it is now on the brink of extinction. The One Nation weaponry is running low and their last chance at survival is a long shot. In a desperate attempt for a vaccine, scientists experiment with the blood cells of past super humans to try and counteract the virus in hopes of a “cure”. With no time to spare and limited samples, they can only perform one animal trial, before immediately moving to human subjects. All trials result in death except for one teenage boy. For reasons unknown, the blood cells only adapt to people under the age of eighteen. Shortly after, the boy starts to experience abnormal changes; He now has peak physical abilities and his skin can transform into any material he touches. However, he is just the first of many more to come. Each story is unique to its character as we follow individuals from across the post-apocalyptic world in hope they will come together to fight for their survival. Watch as they struggle with the loss of family and friends, find love, and gain extraordinary abilities, all while on the journey to help find a cure. The physical and emotional stress takes a toll on these kids as they encounter allies presumed dead and battle against powered adversaries they'd never expect! Diversity and religious beliefs all vary between these characters with danger at every turn, but will their biggest threat really be each other? At a time when everything else is uncertain, one thing is for sure…the world changed when they made it one nation; this is the NEW WORLD ORDER.
