After barely escaping a massive zombieoutbreak in Willlamette, Colorado, award-winning photojournalist Frank West has beenworking jobs that leave him feeling unfulfilledand hollow—a far cry from his glory days out inthe field armed only with his trusty camera andjournalistic wits. Now, however, Frank hasjoined forces with Rebecca Chang, a Las Vegasradio reporter who shares his conspiratorialviews regarding the ongoing zombie plague.Together, they plan to investigate the causesbehind the plague, which was initially caused byU.S. government tests on mysterious bee-likeinsects called “Queens” in South America,whose stings were found to cause zombificationin cattle and, later, after one of the Queensescaped, in humans.

Meanwhile, Director Marian Mallon, head of thepharmaceutical giant Phenotrans (manufacturerof the zombification inhibitor called Zombrex)and her mysterious head of security, HarjitSingh, have set in motion a diabolical plot torelease swarms of the Queen bees inside theLas Vegas Arena during a massive motocrossevent featuring champion racer Chuck Greene.

For Phenotrans, more zombies can only meanmore profits…
