After receiving strange orders from superiors to keep away from HG World, McInnes and Grant turn their attention to the Happy Valley Militia, a quasi-military government reaching out from north-central Pennsylvania to control large sections of the state. As the public begins turning to these groups for help in the absence of a central government, rumors circulate of the mysterious "Generals" and their carnival-styled camps popping up in the western part of the state. Inside and under cover, Grant and McInnes find every kind of excess imaginable. Everything is for sale or trade. But what's beneath the surface?

The Chronic Rift Network is thrilled and proud to present Jay Smith's HG World from the very beginning.  If you've never listened to this zombie apocalypse serial before, this is a perfect time to jump on board.  This first episode has been remastered and features an all new introduction by series creator, Jay Smith.


The zombie apocalypse has reached the remote parts of

northeastern Pennsylvania and local high school students Gray (Stacy Dooks), Caitlin (M Sieiro Garcia), Derrik (DJ Breau), Hicks (Ryan Smith) and Ronni (Rebecca Rinas) are stuck for something to do. They meet at the Wishwell Community Center where Pastor Douglas Dawkins (Mark Zaricor) is petitioning the local seniors to come with him to higher ground where they can ride out the metaphorical storm. Gray decides a house party is the best way to handle the situation and enlists his friends to loot the local Pump’n Go convenience store for supplies. From there, the world changes.


Features Bryan Lincoln as Carl with Scott Pigg and Tanja Milojevic, Keith DeCandido,       
Veronica Giguere, Eric Avedissian, Glenn Hascall, Caith Donovan, Jeremy Pinkham and Teresa Queen.
