The earth is a wasteland, with no technology, science, or medicine - but the dead don't always die. Those who rise again are the Walkin'...

Thomas is thirty-two. He comes from the small town of Barkley. He has a wife there, Sarah, and a child, Mary; good solid names from the Good Book. And he is on his way home from the war, where he has been serving as a conscripted soldier.

Thomas is also dead - he is one of the Walkin'.

And Barkley does not suffer the wicked to live.
