ynopsis

Welcome to Peace Day 2005. The entire world has agreed to a Nuclear Weapon disarmament, and in celebration thousands around the world are gathering to witness the destruction of those lethal warheads. The United States were no different, and had produced a procedure that would completely nullify the radioactive properties of the warheads. Somewhere in Nevada, citizens came to watch the event. This included a woman and her son, Spaulding. But this wasn't just an ordinary boy, Spaulding was troublesome and mischievous. During the process of nullification, Spaulding sneaked into a restricted area, and did the unthinkable--he pressed the detonation button prior to the completion of radiation shielding. Thus came "The Burn," as the few survivors came to call it.

"The Burn" engulfed the entire world into a radioactive heat. This heat killed everyone that came into contact with it. What looked as the end of the human race, was something much worse. Those dead rose back to life, scorched and mindless seeking only to consume human flesh. These horrendous acts, however, weren't the end of humanity. Small bands of people that had not been changed by "The Burn" had gathered and begun fighting off these new zombies. Still other survivors had become holed up in their homes, buildings, and workplaces.

This was the fate of Tom Bennett, a lowly Blackjack dealer at the Silver Star Casino and his co-worker, a topless dancer named Tori. This is the story of Tom and Tori, and how they battle the endless horde of zombies that never cease to arrive in Reno, Nevada.
