You're bitten. You're scared, but feel fine. Then the people around you begin to smell sweeter. They smell tasty. You find yourself passing on steak and potatoes. Only one meal will satisfy the urge...human flesh. So you commit the ultimate sin, and you feed. Suddenly, you feel better. A week later, the urge is there again. You commit the heinous act again, and your cognizance returns. As long as you feed you can carry on "normally." But if your moral standard keeps you from feeding, the urge gets stronger. People smell sweeter. People smell tastier. After a week, you begin to twitch, and your thinking is not sound. Two weeks in, your speech is gone, your muscles atrophy, and you're a drooling mess. If you make it three weeks, you're just a snarling, shambling, animal, driven by the instinct to feed. You have the Hunger. Much has changed since the Huttons were stranded in Vatt's Crossing. With the defeat of one enemy, comes the birth of another. As the group of survivors try to cope and overcome the constant misfortune that the Hunger causes, the town of Hawkins is raided by a rogue group of biters who have organized under one name and one leader. After losing nearly half of their numbers, the survivors of Vatt's Crossing have little time to mourn. Outlaws, biters, herds of rotters, and visits from unwanted guests vie to destroy the group...if they don't destroy themselves from within first. The second episode of this survival horror tale continues as secrets are uncovered and more blood soaks the plains.
