Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead… And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors?

 Without each other, are they even alive — or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?

Set in the near future, Orphan Black: Echoes takes a deep dive into the exploration of the scientific manipulation of human existence.
