The piercing wail of a civil defense siren echoes through an Eastern Saudi Arabian city, jolting sisters Sara and Malak into a terrifying new reality. After days of eerie incidents, ominous animal behavior, and unexplained events the girls find themselves in a nightmare as they are abruptly separated from their parents. Together with their best friends, May and Deema, they navigate a crumbling city overrun by chaos as the undead rise and unleash terror on the living. Facing relentless zombies made even more aggressive under the scorching Arabian sun, the girls are joined by Sara’s coworker, Rakan, and his cousin. However, tension within the group begins to build as mistrust and hidden secrets reveal themselves. Even as they fight to stay united, they are haunted by the fear that not everyone is who they claim to be—and others are exhibiting strange behavior. Amid the horror, the girls struggle not only to stay alive but also to preserve their identities as young Saudi women navigating a world that challenges their resilience, values, and sense of self. Will they hold on to their faith in themselves and each other? Can they overcome their differences to reach the safe zone—and their families? Or will suspicion and betrayal shatter their only chance for survival?
