A zombie virus engulfs the city overnight. Juno, a 25-year-old home caregiver, is stranded on the streets with no way out — until her 85-year-old employer Mags leaps down from the roof of a burning car and crushes a zombie’s skull with one punch.
This grumpy old lady Juno has looked after for two years is Subject 01, a super-soldier from a genetic experiment conducted forty years ago.
Even more shocking: in an underground parking garage, Juno meets a talking zombie named Kael. He retains human consciousness with amber eyes. He is Subject 02 from the same experiment and Mags’ long-lost protégé separated four decades prior.
Juno learns that touching Kael can briefly restore his humanity, yet every touch infects her with the zombie virus. The deeper her love for him grows, the closer she drifts to becoming a monster.
The city is sealed behind a military barrier, monitored round-the-clock by drones in the sky. Beyond the barrier lies General Harmon, the traitor who sabotaged the experiment and ruined Kael’s life. He plans to deploy a biochemical warhead to wipe out the entire city and erase all evidence.
Mags’ body is rapidly mutating, slowly turning into a zombie queen. Green viral markings spread across Juno’s skin. Kael’s humanity fades by the hour. The three must expose the truth before Harmon presses the button — and the final sacrifice will fall to the 85-year-old grandma, armed only with a rolling pin.
