In a world overrun by a relentless undead plague, hope is a fragile promise-and sacrifice, the only currency left. The Carrier follows Sam Jacob Salem, a 24-year-old researcher with a painful secret, and his determined 12-year-old sister, Ana, as they embark on a perilous journey from the ruins of their old life in London to a fortified research HQ in Kenya.
A year after the outbreak, when society has crumbled and the undead lurk at every turn, Sam and Ana join a humanitarian mission to study the infected and search for a cure. But when a brutal massacre leaves them as the sole survivors-along with a mysterious baby abandoned in a forsaken camp-their struggle for survival intensifies. As they traverse a barren, dangerous landscape on a 12-day trek toward safety, Sam's hidden infection begins to consume him, threatening to transform him into the very monster he fights to keep at bay.
Torn between duty and love, Sam must conceal his impending fate to protect Ana, even as the undead reveal a terrifying truth: humanity can sometimes be found in the most unexpected places. The Carrier is a haunting tale of loss, resilience, and the enduring power of family in the face of an unstoppable nightmare.
