The story begins with a family - Andy, his wife Kay, and their daughter Rosie - on a houseboat trip in Australia. They encounter a zombie-infested world and struggle to survive. Along the way, they meet a young Aboriginal girl named Tumi, who joins them on their journey. As the story unfolds, Kay is bitten by a zombie and eventually turns, forcing Andy to kill her.
Andy meets a man named Vic, who claims to have a way to survive the apocalypse, but his true intentions are sinister. Andy discovers that Vic is collecting valuable resources and killing zombies to gain control when the apocalypse ends.
As the story nears its end, Andy befriends Tumi and her family, who are immune to the zombie virus. Andy becomes infected but manages to lead his daughter Rosie to safety with Tumi's help. Before he turns, Andy ensures Rosie's safety by using the smell of animal remains to distract his zombie self and lead the girls to their destination. The natives ultimately kill Andy, but Rosie and Tumi are taken to a safe place where many survivors have gathered, waiting for the world to be cleared of zombies.
