In a quaint American island town, life is disrupted when a sudden zombie outbreak turns the peaceful community into a gruesome battleground. Central to the story is Frida, a young Iranian-American woman who returns home for a visit, only to find herself fighting for survival alongside Tom, a gay average Joe, and a couple facing their marital strife, John and Cheryl. Misinformation and paranoia spread as fast as the zombie infection itself, amplifying the residents' underlying prejudices. Frida becomes a target not just for the undead but also for those who irrationally suspect her of being an external threat, exacerbated by her Middle Eastern background.

As the group navigates the chaos, the social commentary intensifies, exploring themes of identity, racism, and intolerance amidst the horror. The makeshift band of survivors encounters various community members, each reacting differently to the apocalyptic turn of events. Trust is as scarce as safe havens, and the survivors must confront both external threats and their internal biases to have any hope of making it through alive. Their journey uncovers the thin veneer of civility, revealing the raw human emotions and tensions lying just beneath the surface of society.
