Dakota is a normal fifteen year old girl, living in a normal world... sorta. Dakota hasn't said a word in four years. She was having a normal day with her dad and uncle when the new declared a state if emergency. Eveyone was told to head to Atlanta. With her dad, uncle, and her pit bull Monster they packed what they could and headed out. With Altanta overran they made camp with more people, with the intention to rob them. That is until she meets Hunter Grimes. A sixteen year old boy who is determined to befriend the mute girl with the spunky attitude.
