La popolazione mondiale è stata colpita da un misterioso flagello e un esercito di zombie spinti da un'insaziabile fame di carne umana sta per prendere il sopravvento. Dopo essere fuggita dalla sua casa nel Winsconsin, Ana Clark si unisce ad un gruppo di sopravvissuti che comprende un agente di polizia, lo stoico Kenneth, il timido e riservato Michael e Andre, un duro abituato a tutto e con la moglie incinta. Il gruppo trova rifugio in un centro commerciale abbandonato che si trasforma in una vera e propria fortezza.
