A zombie apocalypse film that uses the genre to explore Indigenous resilience and survival against both undead horrors and external threats to a Mi'kmaq community.

The dead are coming back to life outside the isolated Mi'kmaq reserve of Red Crow, except for its Indigenous inhabitants who are strangely immune to the zombie plague.
