Geeks become the unlikely heroes of their own comic book fantasies when the zombie apocalypse comes to Hong Kong. Lung (Michael Ning, Port of Call) lives with single-mom Shan (Carrie Ng, Naked Killer) in an abandoned theater. He partners with his comic sidekick (Louis Cheung), hot cousin (Cherry Ngan), prodigal dad (Alex Man), and an abandoned bride (Venus Wong) to fight back with innovative weapons including homemade flying guillotines.
