A virus that turns your skin blue - naturally dubbed The Blues - has swept the world, devolving the unluckiest into near-mindless flesh-eaters, purple-skinned and frantic for human meat.
President Randy Sole has been bravely hiding out in his Florida residence while the world falls apart, surrounded by his loyal cadre of Special Agents. Now, the sky-blue President decides it is time to travel to Washington DC and reclaim his presidency. Special Agent Steelson is the only remaining protector of the President. Time is in short supply as the President's hue deepens and his senses diminish.
Their journey will take them across a land in chaos, populated by survivors - the helpful, the desperate, the outright unhinged. A mountain range, billionaire cults, and mindless purple hoards stand between the President and the White House. Can they get there before the President turns purple and loses his faculties entirely? Will they find a cure when they get to DC? And can Special Agent Steelson stay professional in the face of humanity's downfall?
The Blues is a savage socio-political romp set against a zombie apocalypse, a darkly comic satirical odyssey through the best and worst hallmarks of 21st Century America.
