1863, Cockatoo Island, Australia
Career criminals, Fred Ward and Fred Britten, plan a daring escape from the prison island. Major Logan Kidd, a veteran of the Afghan wars and commander of the prison garrison, is tormented by his part in the bloody middle eastern conflict.
Suddenly, a new inmate is introduced to the island and all hell breaks loose. A deadly virus that turns the living into the hungry, flesh-eating undead sweeps the island. Soldiers and convicts must team up to fight this evil that has now invaded Cockatoo Island.
Now: Ben Gibson and his friends are taking a holiday away from University. Their break from school takes them to a music festival on Cockatoo Island. A fun-filled weekend of sex and alcohol. Unknown to Ben and the others at the music festival, a long-dormant evil waits to be released. An evil that is very, very hungry!
