When a genetically modified bacteriophage mutates into a world-wide zombie plague, infecting humankind by the billions, comic shop owner Mort Lesser must find the courage to survive in a world overrun by the hungry dead. It's no fun being a fat guy when hordes of flesh-eating zombies are wandering the streets, but with the help of some new friends-- underwear model Peter Bolin and sexy stunt car driver Zhao Dao-ming-- Mort just might make it out of the city in one piece. But first he will have to get past about a million hungry deadheads... and some very demented fellow survivors. With 99% of the population turned into brain-eating zombies, the last warm-blooded human beings have suddenly become the most valuable good commodity on the planet.
