Breaking News! War vet with PTSD shoots among the crowd amidst a pandemic outbreak! Sounds familiar nowadays. Maybe he saw, monsters, or just enemies, we don’t know what went on in Jay’s mind on that night, in his long apocalyptic escape… This is not another gory zombie flick. It’s about the inner journey of a person on the run from his demons, real and not, from an unknown enemy, who may attack anywhere, anytime. Perhaps it’s the story of a victim, a scapegoat, a pawn in a devious system, a brainwashed executioner… Fear confuses reality, which is already altered by a real epidemic, quickly spreading and deforming Jay’s paranoid perception of reality. Our anti-hero meets surreal characters and learns bits of truth on his way to salvation, or perhaps to damnation. The movie touches contemporary issues, like mysterious epidemics, terrorism paranoia, veterans Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, mass shootings, big brother conspiracy… It’s a contemporary tale of realistic madness.
