A lab-made virus has broken out in Chicago, reawakening the infected dead and mutating them into nocturnal, flesh-hungry creatures that disrupt the lives of citizens across the city. But not just the dead are waking up.

After months of support, the city abruptly breaks its promise to have its citizens’ backs until there’s a cure, but is there one? With their supplies dwindling and no end in sight to the horrific epidemic, bougie married couple Nya and Justin must abandon their high-end home in their upper-middle-class ’hood. They find refuge at the mysterious Black-owned and operated safe zone.

Shortly after their arrival, the couple discovers the sanctuary’s shady role in recent events and learns of a devastating secret connection between some of its residents, including Nya and Justin.

Joined by sanctuary residents, they set off on an inevitable mission that forces them to re-examine their once-comfortable lives, re-evaluate their tightly-held beliefs, and confront their deepest fears before it’s too late for them and their entire community.
