[bruce]

After finishing a long shift as a nurse, Ana, returns to her suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin neighborhood and her husband, Luis. Caught up in a scheduled date night, the two miss an emergency news bulletin on television. The next morning, a neighborhood child enters their bedroom and kills Luis who immediately reanimates as a zombie and attacks Ana. She flees in her car, but eventually crashes and passes out. A montage of news footage depicts zombies overwhelming civilization around the world. Upon waking, Ana joins with Police Sergeant Kenneth Hall and jack-of-all-trades Michael, as well as petty criminal Andre and his pregnant wife, Luda. The group breaks into a nearby mall where a zombified security guard attacks and bites Luda. They are also confronted by three living guards who make them surrender their weapons in exchange for refuge. The groups secures the mall, then heads to the roof where they see another survivor, Andy, who is stranded alone in his gun store, across the zombie-infested parking lot. They eventually decide to fight their way to the local marina, and travel on Steve's yacht to an island on Lake Michigan. They begin retrofitting and reinforcing two shuttle buses from the parking garage for their escape.
