Outside

The Abel family, consisting of Francis, Iris, and their two sons, Joshua and Lucas, finds themselves caught in a terrifying zombie outbreak. As the chaos engulfs the city, they decide to flee for their lives, seeking refuge in the only haven they can think of – a mansion owned by Francis' parents.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Francis is confronted with a devastating scene. He discovers that his father and a housekeeper have succumbed to infection and taken their own lives, while his mother now roams the estate as a reanimated zombie, forcing him to make the heart-wrenching decision to kill her.

As the family settles into the mansion, it becomes clear that Francis is grappling with deep-seated trauma from his childhood. Memories of being locked in the basement by his father haunt him, complicating his ability to protect his family and maintain his sanity.

The dynamics within the Abel family become strained as Iris struggles with her own infidelity, revealing that her affair was with Francis' elder brother, Diego. This shocking revelation rocks Francis, placing additional strain on their already fragile marriage amidst a zombie apocalypse.

Desperate for a new safe place, Iris convinces Francis to look for a secure location. However, their plans quickly unravel when they must abandon their van at a perilous checkpoint teeming with zombies, leaving them vulnerable and lost.

While attempting to retrieve their abandoned vehicle, Francis instead focuses on securing fuel for the mansion's generator. This diversion not only highlights his desperation but also creates tension as Joshua learns about a potential safe zone from their radio.

Choosing to dismiss Joshua’s insistence on exploring the safe zone, Francis opts to teach his son how to fire a gun. This decision backfires catastrophically, inadvertently attracting a horde of zombies that besiege the mansion and put the family in imminent danger.

After a narrow escape from the zombie threat, Diego arrives to assist the family, which leads to a fraught reunion with Francis. Struggling with jealousy and resentment, Francis resists Diego’s efforts to help, escalating their conflict as he threatens him at gunpoint.

As fear of the zombies wanes, Francis's paranoia spirals out of control. He stages a fake zombie attack, locks his family in the mansion, and during a family dinner, ignites more conflict by burning a map containing potential escape routes suggested by Diego.

The situation worsens when a wounded soldier arrives, corroborating Diego’s claims about the diminishing zombie threat. This news pushes Francis further into madness, leading to violent actions against those he claimed to protect, including attacking the soldier.

Feeling crushed under the weight of Francis's oppressive rule, Joshua makes the brave choice to leave the mansion. His departure heralds a series of increasingly violent interactions as Francis goes on the offensive, fully succumbing to his inner demons.

Amidst the chaos, Iris makes a daring move to save her children by injuring Francis, locking him away. This courageous act allows her to plot an escape with Lucas, but they must also face the ghosts of their past to survive.

In a horrifying twist, Francis is confronted by Diego, now a reanimated zombie, who fatally infects Lucas. Balancing grief and survival, Francis manages to kill Diego but is left to grapple with the tragic consequences of his chaotic descent into madness.

In a quest for survival, Francis makes a risky return to the checkpoint to retrieve their van. Tragically, he meets his end when Joshua accidentally shoots him, mistaking him for a zombie in a heart-wrenching and chaotic moment.

As Joshua grapples with the weight of his actions, he receives his father's final words of acknowledgement in a moment of tragic clarity. Left to drive the van to rescue Iris and Lucas, Joshua must now confront the heavy burden of their family's fate.
