Plot
After an awkward one-night stand, Deborah, a camerawoman for the local news, leaves Ryan's apartment only to head into a zombie apocalypse. With the only safe shelter being Ryan's apartment, they must stick together in order to survive.
The pathogen is the Ichabob virus, a waterborne disease that infects people because the water company switched to ultraviolet germicidal irradiation instead of water chlorination to save money.

History
Production
On March 6, 2014 Kyle Rankin and Michael Cassidy revealed via Kickstarter that they were producing a "Zom-Rom-Com". They gave fans a tease with a pledge video to demonstrate how the film could be; plus to give fans another tease, they released the first 16 pages of the script online, so they knew what they were investing in.[3][4] The fans were given 30 days to raise $99,000 – but by April 5, 2014 they had raised over $100,000.[5]
Filming
Portland, Maine was chosen for filming since it was Kyle's hometown. Principal photography commenced on June 10, 2014 and ended on July 3, 2014.[6][7][8][9] If fans missed out the production, the cast and crew publicly promoted a wrap party that anyone could attend, with purchase of a $95 ticket, which was held on July 3, 2014.[10]
