Set on an idyllic island, this tale of terror follows six juvenile delinquents: Bastian (Fergus Riordan), Pearl (Madeleine Kelly), Liam (McKell David), Shawn (Darren Evans), May (Natifa Mai) and Thomas (Diego Mendez), who’ve been locked away in a youth care center for the holidays, with no guardians in sight.
They get introduced to each other during a series of therapy sessions, and get connected to each other as they all face issues of violence and neglect — especially Bastian, whose traumatizing childhood is seen in flashbacks. The abuse and trauma they have faced from adults brings the youngsters close to each other.
When the gang decides to break out of detention, they find themselves on an island overrun with zombified grownups who have one thing on their minds – to kill the kids. The group members gradually get picked off, leaving potential lovebirds Bastian and Pearl to plot an escape that takes them through the desert, then through an apocalyptic town filled with shotgun-wielding tweenagers and ultimately toward the seaside. Can they escape to safety with their lives intact?
