Synopsis:
Six months have passed since the arrival of the
New World. A world plunged into primitive living
overnight.
Within this wild and dangerous landscape live
two types of survivors: those attempting to restore civilisation, a
sense of order and normalcy; and those who have embraced the jungle,
governed by new rules, doing anything to survive.
For the group living in the remains of a
supermarket ? now a make-shift hospital and refuge ? their attempts
of a safe, ordered life has so far been successful. There's an
adequate supply of food, with injuries and maladies being treated as
best as possible by the local doctor. Their main concern is
the gang living in the ruined Blockbuster across the river. As
wild and untamed as the jungle that has taken over the once-thriving
suburban shopping strip, the gang kidnap and murder at will, hanging
what remains of the dead from a nearby fast-food sign.
So far they?ve left the small community alone,
but it?s only a matter of time before the gang's blood lust brings
forth a deadly confrontation.
In the jungle, only the fittest survive.
Welcome to the neighbourhood.
