Bookroo's summary

In a crumbling Britain overrun by the undead, teenage brothers Matt and Danny seek refuge in their secluded estate. As the infected close in, their sanctuary becomes a prison. When a desperate family arrives and survivors signal from afar, the brothers face a harrowing decision: remain safe behind their walls or risk everything to help others. With each choice carrying life-or-death stakes, they must confront what it truly means to survive and protect the living. Will they cling to isolation, or embrace the perilous path of humanity and hope?
