'In the gravest of times, at the end of human history, only the most ridiculous may survive.' A group of students from Huddersfield party so hard they miss the end of the world. They proceed to keep partying and fail their way through the post-apocalypse. This is a testament to the short, strange lives of these misfit anti-socialites and a higher education in how not to do it.

Dead Kings Of Nothing is the dark, offbeat and eccentric story of a group of students who come to after a wild house party to find that the world around them is desolate and abandoned.

The hapless bunch of ne’er-do-well students awaken hungover into a world where a disaster has stricken their home town of Huddersfield. All around are signs of a panicked mass exodus of the town and a looting of its buildings. The few people left have become rabid and feral with a strange kind of sickness that has turned them mindless and ghoulish in appearance. Perhaps some military strike or invasion occurred; the student friends can only guess because during this time they had such a wild house party they could barely remember it. Whatever happened, they missed it all and can only speculate at the devastation left behind. Now, with no adult supervision or guidance there is nothing left for the motley bunch of decadents except figure out where the next meal (and drink) comes from.

Each member of the group has different ideas on how to proceed, few agree with each other, and collectively they don’t have the competence to carry out any plan due to their continual debauchery and smoking of a strange narcotic herb they cultivate in the garden shed.

The students try something, fail, try something bigger, fail harder, then try something so spectacular that they fail so hard things could never be the same again. This, to them, is progress.
