Trapped among the crowds of costumed fans and convention-goers, the group must use their wits and whatever resources they can find to stay alive. The film blends genre fandom with genuine scares and dark humor, creating a unique take on zombie survival that plays on the conventions—both the event and the tropes—of sci-fi cinema. It's a love letter to fan culture that becomes a battle against the living dead.
