Synopsis

• The undead have overrun the Earth! A small outpost, remnants of a twisted scientists’ scheme to defeat the plague, holds out against the army of King Zombie with their secret weapon, the Lepers — victims of a bizarre experiment that left them with dead flesh in breathing husks that even zombies won’t touch.
