A survival-focused zombie thriller that trades character depth for action and siege tension, with a group fighting to escape an overrun island.

When zombies overrun San Francisco, a desperate group survives by locking themselves inside Alcatraz Prison. When the undead breach the island, our heroes are forced to return to the mainland overrun with the undead.
