A bleak, tension-filled survival horror set in a zombie-infested African warzone, where isolation and relentless undead threats create a grim meditation on solitude and desperation.

When the last evacuation flight out of war-torn Africa crashes off the coast, American Air Force Engineer Lieutenant Brian Murphy emerges as the sole survivor in a land where the dead are returning to life and attacking the living.
