Plot
Following a car accident that renders him unconscious, a man regains consciousness only to discover his wife has perished and reanimated as a zombie. Exiting the vehicle, he retrieves his young daughter from the back seat and notices that his wife inflicted a bite on him during his unconscious state. After a heartfelt farewell to his wife, he embarks on a journey to locate other survivors.
Knowing that he does not have much time left before he turns into a zombie, he puts his daughter in a baby sling, binds his hands to a pole, and attaches carrion to the end of the pole. After he collapses, he rises again as a zombie, and, drawn by the lure of the carrion on the pole, continues his journey. Drawn by a balloon that he attached to himself, a sniper shoots down the man, and several survivors approach on foot. Two male survivors beckon their companion to join them in digging a grave for the man, but the female survivor investigates further, eventually finding the baby.
