With no particular craving for human flesh, or toast, Paul struggles to make sense of a post apocalyptic society, while a post apocalyptic society struggles to make sense of the ever increasing dead who continuously block revolving doors and fail to queue in an orderly fashion. Maybe Robert Thompson can sort it out. Having been shot in the head, he does what anybody else with a huge personal fortune and half a brain does; he goes into politics. Or maybe, Robert Thompson has much darker and destructive plans...
