Zane is a single parent raising his 15-year-old son alone. It has been seven years since his wife, Victoria, passed away. Despite his self-doubts and wondering why she chose him, Zane is a devoted father who would do anything for his son, Declan. After long eight-hour shifts, he always comes home to spend time with him, ensuring that Declan experiences happiness every single day. But their peaceful life is shattered when a mysterious man—who seems to know Victoria—suddenly appears, demanding Declan and destroying their home. As Zane shields his son from an explosion, he dies alone while Declan is dragged away. A dark end… or so it seems. But Zane refuses to stay dead. Dragging his own rotting corpse from the grave, he embarks on a relentless quest to find his son, hunting down anyone who dares stand in his way. Clad in a trench coat, a gas mask, and a helmet—gifts from his late wife on his birthday—he navigates a world filled with secrets Victoria never revealed and a past she desperately tried to escape. Little does Zane know, he has allies working in the shadows, ready to help him and Declan.
