Twenty years have passed since the zombie apocalypse devastated the world. A single man is on a quest for revenge in search of the people responsible for the outbreak of the zombie virus. His journey leads him to a discovery in the western United States that will irrevocably change his goal. Meanwhile, a new world is revealed that is under the strict control of the same people that were responsible for the plague. Two innocent prisoners of this regime must escape and learn the truth about the world they never knew existed.

David was caught in the middle of the city when the zombie outbreak started. His wife and daughters were at home, stranded on the roof as zombies waited below. He would have to fight through hordes of undead, merciless other survivors, and a series of death defying stunts to get home. However, even if he makes it there, how can he be sure they're safe? Deadlocked puts you into David's head as he struggles to get home. Then a final confrontation occurs that could guarantee his family's survival, but at what cost?

Part two of the series picks up immediately after the end of the first. David's wife, Laura, is forced to take over the protection of their family as the boat travels out into Hailey Bay, away from the zombies. However, the boat's pilot plans to dock back in the overrun city to rescue his own family, which will put Laura, Kim, and Annie in jeopardy. Laura is forced to overcome unimaginable horrors as the zombie apocalypse explodes around her, but it is the evil intent of humans that present her greatest challenge.

The Deadlocked series continues as Billy heads into the city in search of his mother. During his quest, he will meet a strident military figure that will alter his journey and two brothers that will become his closest allies. However, his trip will endanger the family he has only just met, and he might not be able to save them. Billy's journey into the city will reveal many of the secrets of this penultimate novella.

In the penultimate book of the second series of Deadlocked, the High Rollers struggle to find their way after an enormous loss.

Kim has been taken by the cruelest, most vile person in the series, and it's up to Billy and Levon to save her. All the while, Laura fights for her life in the grip of the military as they perform tests on her daughter, Annie, that are risking the little girl's life. The conspiracy behind the rise of the zombie plague will be revealed as Reagan uncovers the horrible secret that led to the murder of six and a half billion people.

Unbeknownst to them, one among them holds the cure that could save all mankind, and there are two powerful enemies that want it. Everything has been leading up to this, and the members of this fragile family are going to have to go through hell if they're going to survive. No one is safe as the end draws near.

""Ég sneri mér snöggt að henni og sá hana bak við miðjugluggann í stofunni þar sem hún stóð og horfði á mig. Hún kom út, var enn í kímónóinum með flamingómynstrinu. Hún rétti mér vatnsglas.

"„Staigiai atsisukau ir pamačiau ją, stovinčią už viduriniojo svetainės lango ir žiūrinčią į mane. Netrukus ji atėjo, vis dar vilkėdama kimono su flamingais. Padavė man stiklinę ledinio vandens. Prisidėjau ją prie lūpų ir įsivaizdavau nuogą jos kūną." Henris dirba Šiaurės jūroje įrengtoje gręžimo platformoje.

"Nagle mignęła mi przed oczami twarz Clary. Obróciłem lekko głowę i zobaczyłem, jak patrzy na mnie z okna salonu, obserwując, co robię.
