A darkly comic, surreal satire that uses zombie apocalypse and political incompetence in the woods as a vehicle for biting commentary on global leadership and institutional failure.

En route to the annual G7 summit, the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest liberal democracies get lost in the woods and face increasing peril while attempting to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis.
