A Japanese zombie-apocalypse survival horror that blends visceral action with existential dread as an ordinary man confronts the collapse of reality and society.

A man witnesses a fatal traffic accident on his way home from work, and the victim is clearly killed on impact. A moment later, when the corpse stands up and walks away, it could be a hallucination or something far more extraordinary.
