An
infection which appears to be caused bybacteria in the water turns out to be more. A fourteen-year-old student, Dannie, feels the real cause is linked to herrecurring dream s. When the infection reaches anepidemic level, it becomes clear that this infection not only kills, but restores the body to a minimally functioning state where the infected become the "living-dead". This unique twist on the classiczombie theme centers around the highly-intuitive Dannie Jacobs and a group of four other middle school students who try to save their friends, their town and themselves in spite of the odds against them. While they are desperately trying to find an answer before it is too late, they meetresearcher Sue, who may hold the key to the infection and Dannie's dreams.
