In the hustle and bustle of Port Harcourt city, life for twins Uma and Edward takes a shocking turn when a strange outbreak starts tearing through their school. What begins as a regular morning soon turns into a full-blown nightmare as one by one, their classmates are transformed into bloodthirsty zombies. But what’s even more terrifying? The chaos isn’t just some random accident—it's the result of corrupt political power plays, where the lives of the people are mere pawns in a twisted scheme.

As the streets fill with the undead, Uma and Edward, tough and smart, must navigate their way through a city on the brink of collapse, joined by a group of survivors in search of their loved ones. With the government choosing to ignore the crisis and gang leaders exploiting the turmoil for power, the twins quickly realize that surviving isn’t just about dodging bites. It’s a fight for their humanity against corrupt forces, dangerous alliances, and an army of the undead.

But there’s more to the outbreak than meets the eye. Rumours spread that the virus wasn’t just an accident, and the twins soon find out that the plague was made possible with the help of a foreign hand. As the world falls apart around them, Uma and Edward must face a bitter truth: the real monsters aren’t always the ones that hunger for flesh.

In a city where greed, violence, and ignorance rule, will these two young students find the strength to survive the painful truths and make it back to their loved ones, or will they become victims of the undead, the gangs, or the politicians who’ve betrayed them all?

In the fight for survival, nothing is as it seems, and even the dead have their own story to tell.
