Day of the Dead: Bloodline

Zoe Parker reluctantly attends a medical school party, influenced by her friends' peer pressure. While trying to enjoy herself, she grapples with the complexities of the social scene around her.

During the party, Zoe decides to venture into the morgue to fetch a keg of beer. There, she encounters Max, a disturbed patient with an unsettling fixation on her, setting the stage for a nightmare.

What begins as a casual interaction in the morgue rapidly escalates into a violent encounter. Max's obsessive behavior turns aggressive, leaving Zoe to fight for her life against his brutal assault.

Just as Zoe's situation seems dire, a shocking turn occurs when a corpse suddenly comes back to life. This unexpected event causes Max to flee in terror, providing Zoe with a chance to escape.

As Zoe escapes, chaos erupts as hordes of reanimated corpses, referred to as 'rotters,' swarm the medical school party. The serene environment is transformed into a battleground as the undead claim the lives of the attendees.

In the aftermath, the remaining survivors manage to find refuge in the High Rock Emergency Bunker. They begin to navigate the challenges of isolation under the watchful eyes of Lieutenant Miguel Salazar.

Over the next five years, the survivors are cut off from the outside world, dealing with a growing sense of isolation and uncertainty. Zoe and her friend Elyse take on the responsibility of treating illnesses and searching for a cure using rotter blood samples.

Determined to help a young girl named Lily, who is suffering from bacterial pneumonia, Zoe persuades Miguel to allow a critical supply run to Whittendale University. This mission could be vital for the group's survival.

While navigating the perilous university grounds, Zoe gets a terrible shock when she encounters Max, who is now partially reanimated. This encounter reignites her trauma and attracts the attention of nearby rotters.

During the chaotic events at the university, Frank, one of Zoe's companions, falls victim to the relentless rotters. The grief of losing Frank instills a heavier sense of dread and tension within the remaining survivors.

After regrouping, Zoe's party manages to deliver crucial medication to Lily, but the underlying tensions heighten following Frank's death. Zoe and Miguel's conflict reaches a boiling point, threatening their survival as a group.

In a bid to utilize Max's blood for a potential vaccine, Zoe and Elyse hatch a risky plan. However, the situation spirals out of control, resulting in chaos that leads to Thomas's death and Elyse being infected.

Amid the chaos, Miguel is forced to make a heartbreaking decision regarding Elyse after she is infected. His callousness stirs outrage in Zoe and further exacerbates the tensions among the remaining survivors.

In a gripping finale, Zoe confronts Max in a greenhouse, culminating in a visceral showdown. Fueled by rage and fear, she avenges herself by dismembering him, putting an end to his torment.

In the aftermath of the climactic battle, Zoe broadcasts a hopeful message to potential survivors, announcing the development of a life-saving vaccine. However, ominous rotter growls from the forest remind her that their struggles are far from over.
