Basically, we expected to see it the way it was shown in movies and TV shows: the confrontation between people and infected zombies or the adventures of hungry survivors in devastated territories. In the end, everything is different, writes Today.Lifestyle.

In the center of the plot is the courier Niko, who is immune to the virus and can move freely around the city. Outside the window is 2024, where the pandemic is still continuing.
