Действие начинается в 1968-м. В военном госпитале в Пенсильвании армейские ученые доэкспериментировались с бактериологическим оружием до того, что потеряли над ним контроль. И, как следствие, и пациенты, и медперсонал начали помирать как мухи и превращаться в зомби. Присланное командованием спецподразделение расстреляло всех до единого, а заодно уничтожило пробирки со смертоносным вирусом. Но одна емкость, спрятанная в обыкновенном термосе, сохранилась.

Director
Laurie Maria Baranyay makes her feature debut with this raw, gritty character study of a young woman struggling to come to terms with herself. The film centers on Mikey, a lass sporting vintage threads, platinum blonde hair, and a series of ugly bruises on her face. At the movie's outset, Mikey has a woodland rendezvous with her thuggish boyfriend Adam. After a round of unsatisfactory sex, Adam starts to heap drunken abuse upon her after Mikey reveals that she has to be at her sister's birthday party where Adam is expressly not invited. Mikey eventually stumbles in to the party late, which infuriates her family who cannot understand why she continues to date such a loser as Adam. But Mikey continues to stand by her man, and the physical abuse he inflicts on her. Later, she has more run-ins with her sisters, and a sleazy ex-beau who rapes her on a bathroom floor. When morning dawns, Mikey and her mother have a heart-wrenching talk.

Trevor (Andrew McIntyre) has never had any particular difficulty in meeting beautiful women to spend time with, but his failure to find the perfect female has left him stymied. Shifting from sorority girls to sex fiends and models, Trevor remains uncomfortable with the idea of settling for just any girl. But after hitting it off with spirited punk rocker Janice (Marnie Robinson), he debates setting aside his quest for physical perfection in order to have a meaningful relationship.
