A darkly comedic zombie apocalypse set in Havana that uses political satire and graphic gore to explore survival and entrepreneurship amid societal collapse.

While Havana is full of zombies hungry for human flesh, official media reported that the disturbances are caused by dissidents paid by the United States. Panic seizes all until Juan comes to the rescue: he discovers he can kill the undead destroying his brain, and decides to start a small business under the slogan "We kill your loved ones."
