A darkly comedic animated short that uses zombie rehabilitation as a vehicle to explore prejudice and social anxiety, blending horror tropes with satirical commentary.

In the aftermath of a zombie outbreak, zombies are cured and exiled to secluded camps. There has been talk about rehabilitating post-zombies back into society. Steve, the journalist reporting on the case, thinks the zombies still pose a threat to society. He ventures into one of these camps to prove to the world that rehabilitation is out the question.
