Introduction

Follows the USS Pennsylvania as Riley and crew survive the apocalypse in a submarine.

Part of the Walking Dead franchise. Also known as Dead in the Water: A Fear the Walking Dead Story.

Outline

After a crewmember suffering from appendicitis dies on board despite the medics’ attempts to save him, he eventually turns and manages to bite several people. From there, things spiral out of control on the submarine as an outbreak quickly spreads, killing the majority of the crew within a day. Ultimately several surviving crewmembers were able to raise the submarine to the surface, allowing for eight people, including Riley, McGuire, and Walter, to escape from the submarine with their lives.

This release was done to help promote the second half of the Fear the Walking Dead season 07, and the storyline predominately takes place during the events of Season 01 and serves as a prequel to Season 06.
