The Zombie Apocalypse isn't the hardest part of growing up—it's keeping your little sister from hugging your undead father. Sixteen-year-old Sarah Burrows is the reluctant caretaker of her younger sister, Misty, and four troubled kids left behind at the Peaceful Acres Psychiatric Center for Obsessive Behavior. Her ragtag crew of survivors includes Jordan, a self-proclaimed psychic; Barton, a pudgy karate enthusiast; Alvin, a logical genius; and Zach, an unrelenting pessimist.

When Misty's grief reaches a breaking point, she demands to travel to Memphis to meet Johnny Rokkets—a legendary rock star who supposedly died in 1997, but who their father always claimed secretly lived upstairs in his Rokkland mansion. Knowing that staying hidden means losing Misty to her own delusions, Sarah realizes the only way to save her sister is to actually hit the road.

Armed with fake psychic visions, martial arts bravado, and a large pickle jar carrying a severed zombie hand, these kids must navigate a wasteland of walking corpses, explosive booby traps, and heavily armed survivalist camps. Will they find a dead legend hiding upstairs in Memphis, or will the harsh reality of the apocalypse finally catch up to them? Buckle up for a heavy-metal road trip fueled by hope, stolen machinery, and the healing power of rock and roll.
