Synopsis
Plot
The plot revolves around a group of Parisian policemen who embark on a mission of vengeance after one of their colleagues dies at the hands of a notorious drug dealer holed up inside a condemned high-rise in the heart of a derelict and corrupt Paris neighborhood(ZUP[9]). They storm the social housing complex with the intent of taking him down,[10] but the operation is a failure and the team is captured. Suddenly, both sides find themselves confronted by quite a different opponent as a zombie apocalypse breaks out. Now, cops and criminals will have to forge an uneasy alliance to survive the undead.[11]
