For the time being, his mountains of cash are safe behind his impenetrable casino vault. However, the US President plans to nuke the entire city in less than 96 hours.

Now, Tanaka is willing to pay $50 million to the decorated former mercenary, Scott Ward, and his hand-picked team to retrieve the money before the bomb obliterates the city. Indeed, this is a life-changing offer Scott cannot refuse. Nevertheless, the rules have changed, and the horde of the walking undead seems to be more organized than they might have expected. But, time is running out.
