The film is set in a dystopian future where a zombie apocalypse has ravaged humanity. The protagonist, Rhys (Luke McKenzie), is a soldier living in the harsh outback of Australia, tasked with capturing survivors for a military regime that conducts brutal experiments in the hope of finding a cure. However, Rhys’s encounters with a group of resilient survivors, including the fierce and resourceful sisters Brooke (Bianca Bradey) and Maxi (Shantae Barnes-Cowan), challenge his loyalty and purpose.
