Five teens were in Atlanta on a school trip when the world went to shit. They hid out in an apartment near the outskirts of the city so they could go on runs to get food and supplies but they weren't to close to get surrounded by walker hoards. One of the days during a run one of the group found a one handed man laying in a pharmacy and brought him back to the others to help him. Helping him through withdrawals from whatever he was on, his burnt stump, and getting him back to his group. But getting him back was harder than expected, they didn't know where they went, his camp was destroyed and packed up, everything gone.
