    • When the zombie outbreak swept the entire nation, Jung-seok (Gang) barely escaped South Korea alive. While living a life of despair in Hong Kong, he receives an enticing offer to return to the quarantined peninsula. His mission is to retrieve an abandoned truck in the middle of Seoul and then silently escape the country. But his operation goes awry when a mysterious militia unit ambushes Jung-seok’s small team, as well as even more vicious hordes of zombies. In his most desperate moment, Min-jung (Lee), mother of two daughters and an uninfected survivor of the zombie apocalypse suddenly appears and tries to assist Jung-seok in his attempt to escape the peninsula once and for all.
