Synopsis
Following on from the success of The Tracey Fragments (LIFF 2007), Bruce McDonald brings us a truly terrifying and yet thought provoking zombie film. Set in a small rural Canadian community, shockjock radio DJ Grant Mazzy and his small team start to realise something is very wrong in their town when reports start to come in of mass hysteria, rioting and violence. Trapped and scared they try to fathom what is causing the outbreak before the murderous zombie horde descends on the radio station in search of new victims.
