When a first date between a doomsday prepper and a nerdy film professor goes horribly, zombie-apocalypse-level wrong, the mismatched pair team up on a road trip to safety in this delightfully feral rom-com.
With a new virus spreading and a lockdown on the horizon, Maisie Bennett is determined to check one item off her bucket list: Get laid. But thatâs no easy feat for an anxious doomsday prepper whoâs never made it past a first date. So when a handsome, stubbly-jawed professor swipes right and agrees to meet up, Maisie vows to act normalâand to leave her taser at home.
Dr. Everett Greer has lost all lust for life after a personal tragedy, but he doesnât have the heart to stand up the poor woman his best friend catfished to force him back âout there.â Maisie turns out to be surprisingly lovely, but there's something off about her, too, with her clinking cargo pockets, shy smile, and utility belt full ofâare those weapons? Unfortunately, their awkward first date goes from bad to doomed when the GI virus thatâs trapped half of America in the bathroom starts claiming its first casualties, then reanimates them into flesh-eating zombies. And this is precisely why Everett doesn't date anymore.
As the country spins out of control, Maisie and Everett find themselves an unlikely team of twoâwell, three, if you count Everettâs cat, Chickenâas they travel north to hopeful safety. Along the way, Maisie and Everett make a deal: sheâll teach the soft, liberal arts professor how to survive, and heâll teach her how to liveâthrough movies, travel, and, to Maisieâs delight, sex lessons. But when their growing feelings are put to the test, theyâre in danger of losing not only their brains to the zombies, but worse, their hearts to each other.
