A reality game show set six months in to a zombie outbreak sees ten survivors from across the UK head to Monroe Shopping Village - a rescue point where the army were once based but had to abandon when it was overrun by zombies.They will have to work together to make this their base - securing shelter, safety and essential supplies for the whole group. The army are able to monitor them via satellite and radio - and set missions essential for their survival. Anyone still alive in 7 days will be rescued by army helicopter and taken to one of the global tropical quarantine areas. The survivors just need to avoid the zombies, but they're everywhere, highly infectious and the slightest touch will result in death.
Three survivors come face to face with a horde of zombies as they leave the base to find food for the group. An electrical storm late at night causes a security malfunction as the base faces being overrun by zombies. The only solution is to find the power room and reboot the system. But with zombies everywhere who will be brave enough to go into the dark air-vents and take on such a high-risk mission?
The survival horror-themed game show continues as the group comes to terms with the past day's events. Two members are killed by zombies while out on a mission, and a freak electrical storm leaves the base flooded and in chaos. Later, some of the group try to find supplies to repair the damage, but three of them become trapped at the other side of the compound and their only chance of survival is to risk their lives one by one.
The remaining survivors struggle to deal with further deaths. Meanwhile, three strangers arrive at the compound searching for refuge, but fear, tension and paranoia put the entire group on edge.
The group grows suspicious of a new arrival. Meanwhile, the survivors must work together when their supplies begin to run low and they are forced to venture out into the compound.
Greg James presents as the survivors come face to face with a ferocious and deadly zombie known as the abomination - just 48 hours before they are rescued. However, they discover the only way to stop it from running havoc within the compound is for the survivors to turn on each other.
The remaining survivors prepare to be rescued on the final day, but must first face their toughest challenge yet when they are forced to go on the run within the compound after zombies find a way into the base. The army helicopter continues to move closer to the site, but the group must battle past the horde to escape.
The survivors who managed to escape the horrors of the Monroe Shopping Centre are given a chance to reflect on their ordeal, looking back at the highs and lows of their experience, and sharing their views on what it takes to stay "alive" during a zombie apocalypse.
