Martin Freeman stars as Andy, a father who becomes infected with the deadly virus after a tragic accident. With only 48 hours before he succumbs to the infection and transforms into one of the undead, Andy embarks on a desperate journey to find a safe haven for his infant daughter, Rosie. As his time runs out, he encounters Thoomi (Simone Landers), a young Aboriginal girl on her own quest to protect her infected father using traditional methods.
The film weaves together their stories, exploring the intersection of modern survivalism and Indigenous knowledge. Thoomi’s connection to her people’s land and customs offers Andy a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak world. Together, they must navigate not only the perils of the virus but also the dangers posed by other survivors whose desperation has turned them into threats.
