1. The president of the United States suppresses news of a deadly virus that quickly spreads worldwide and is declared a pandemic.

2. Fueled by misinformation, society fractures into rebels fighting to save humanity, rival gangs fueled by greed and hatred, and flesh-hungry zombies.

3. One of the gangs, led by a bloodthirsty extortionist felon, incites a coup as his minions attempt to overrun rebel headquarters.

4. The coup is thwarted, but several die in the fight to regain control of the rebel stronghold.

5. While there is still no cure for the deadly virus, rebels have developed a vaccine which will lessen its severity and potentially save millions of lives.

6. The evil gangs unite in the misbelief that the rebels’ vaccine is the real threat to humanity rather than the deadly virus itself.

7. The leader of the united gangs espouses the benefits of ingesting bleach as a cure for the virus.

8. The rebels, refusing to give up, go on to win several key battles and are ultimately victorious against the newly united gangs.

9. The gang’s damage to the framework of a civil society is extensive and the rebels work feverishly to rebuild a democratic government.

10. The rebel victory is short-lived as they fail to bring the united gangs and their leader to justice for the failed coup attempt.

11. Unpunished, the gangs regain strength and begin to dismantle the rebels' hard won democratic rule.

12. The government devolves into an autocracy as the united gang’s leader signs executive orders shutting off all supplies to the middle and lower classes.
