Three girls named Aroush Halapsian, Elek'tra Mgelidze, and Darillys Tishanev have wacky adventures across the Caucasus and Central Asia. Aroush, Elek'tra, and Darillys fight off Susans and zombies, while on their run from their Caucasus homes. Aroush brings her whole family for the ride. They meet three new friends: Ayla Secura, Perpugilliam Tadris, and Relay Moshir. Eventually they also met the mad scientist and smartest person in the world, Professor Dawar Guzekin, and also game developer Lonnie and her two sons Jacob and Chaz. The names sound a bit unrealistic because they're Mukokuseki, also the Caucasocentrism is because I respect the Caucasus due to it having helped me stave off naughty Susan Wainwright thoughts. Hence also why Susan Wainwright shows up as an enemy.
