It’s rude to insult your hosts. It’s even ruder if they eat you. Sports team, Thackston Vale, travel to a remote village to play a preseason friendly. They win the game but make no friends. The locals won’t easily forgive them. Their star player, Justin Lafontaine, wants a normal life. Only, his normal life ended many years ago. To his teammates, he is an enigma with a fondness for cranberry juice. To mysterious stranger and notorious killer, Tom MacKenzie, he is a disease. When zombies besiege their hotel, the team are forced to fight for survival. As their unity dissolves and the undead draw ever nearer, they search for a lost, little girl and what remains of their humanity. Can Justin save his friends? And better still, can he do it before Tom destroys him too?
