The world has been torn apart by a catastrophic virus that has turned 99.99% of the population into zombies. It’s thought that the virus came from outer space, as the outbreak coincided with a meteor of 50-mile radius hitting the west coast of Russia days ago. The zombies have made their way through every city in the world and ravaged almost all possible survivors. Only a handful of human beings remain across the globe…

The first scene will be the prologue cataloguing said events, over 20-30 seconds. We’ll see Russian scientists working away in a base as they then look out of the window and witness a blazing meteor hurtling towards them, crashing down and striking their large military laborotary on the west coast of Russia. Radioactive waves will then emit from the meteor, and we’ll slowly see shots of normal human beings in different cities being struck down by the virus and turned into flesh-eating zombies.

4 months later…

Glasgow, Scotland.

We see a grassy meadow, brought to life by the sun, full of flowers at full bloom. Everything seems well…

We start with a nice warm day, the sun shining and the flowers in the fields of a town swaying with the gentle breeze. Then the camera speeds downwards and zooms into a horde of zombies staggering sluggishly towards a boarded-up house in the middle of the field. In the distance there are buildings ablaze but there are no screams, no sirens… no life.

We then change scene to being inside the house – we see three survivors – two men and one female.

The Survivors:

Lee: Lee is a 27 year-old male. He is average height and quite skinny. He is an escaped criminal from Barlinnie prison. He was inside for murder, but escaped when the zombies raided the prison. He had one friend on the inside, and they were escaping together, but he had to sacrifice his companion to allow himself to get out. This has haunted him ever since. He found his way to this house just days later, and is still unsure of just what has taken over his world. As a child, Lee lived with his mother who often beat him in drunken rages. He suffered this for 17 years before he finally hit back, but he killed her when he only wanted to make her stop. This man has a lot of ghosts and longs to be free of his torturous existence. This makes him rather self destructive

Debra: Debra is a 34 year-old woman. She’s average height and weight. Debra happened upon the house when she was driving out of the city to try to escape the zombie hordes. She’s single, a workaholic, and she hates men. On her way to the abandoned house she picked up a hitchhiker named Arthur. Together they drove all the way from West Kilbride and finally stumbled upon somewhere they thought would be safe…

Arthur: Arthur is a 30 year-old man. He’s average height and average weight. Arthur is an every-day guy. He works 9 til 5, comes home, does some paperwork, goes to bed, works, and repeat. His life is boring, and was incredibly uneventful. The highlight of his life was a tipple of tonic wine at the weekend.

Staff SGT Mike Wrench: Mike is a 32 year-old man. He’s average build, but toned, and average height. Mike was in the paras for 3 years and then he applied to join the SAS and was swiftly accepted. He eased through the selection process and rose through the ranks very quickly. He and his team are the only known survivors in Scotland, and they are on the search for others. They have a safe underground complex and they scout the skies for 3 hours every day, hoping to find other survivors in their Augusta 109 helicopter.

Ryu: Ryu is a Ninja who has been stranded in Scotland after the zombie infestation took over the world. Ryu was visiting Scotland as part of his training. His fighting style is ansatsuken. He has been infected by the virus, but with a certain level of immunity in his blood, he has not been completely zombified – the virus has only increased his level of aggression and he now feels driven to kill everything in sight. Ryu has a goal in life to be reunited with his gay partner ken.
