Synopsis
Ethan (Douglas Smith), a young survivor suffering from amnesia, finds himself in a wild world taken over by nature and strange creatures. He is on a quest to find his lost love, Emma (Kimberly-Sue Murray). Things get wild when he meets Mae (Carrie-Anne Moss), a tough and quirky survivor. As they team up, they face dangers from both people and creatures, leading to a crucial meeting with Kai (Frank Grillo) that reveals a hidden truth about Ethan’s broken memories.
Saskatchewan writer director Lowell Dean brings to life not just another zombie movie; it’s an exploration of love, loss, and the fight to hold onto hope when everything around you falls apart.
