Black Summer meets the hood version of The Walking Dead

When a mysterious STD starts making its rounds, spreading at lightning speed from city to city, the government turns a blind eye to what appears to be a hoax. Negligence leads to a pandemic as the situation spirals out of control, and the infected citizens begin to turn into crazed, flesh-eating zombies that run amok, attacking everyone they encounter. In the heart of the zombie-infested Chicago, a ragtag group of survivors are trying to make it through alive; exotic dancers Brittoni and her younger sister Kennedi, a dope boy named Dekari, Lex - a scammer, Tahara and Ariah - a hairstylist and nail tech duo, and a rapper known as Grimez. As life as they know it starts to crumble and fall around them, they are determined to survive until a vaccine is developed – and hope that things don’t go awry.

In this urban fiction zombie apocalypse, the streets of Chicago become a battlefield for survival.
