The newest film from George A. Romero (legendary creator of the Night of the Living Dead franchise) picks up where Diary of the Dead leaves off - in a nightmarish world where humans are the minority and the zombies rule. Off the coast of Delaware sits Plum Island, where two families are locked in a struggle for power. The O'Flynns approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons feel that zombies should be quarantined and kept "alive" in hopes that a solution will someday be found.
