Plot
The film opens with US military convoy, codenamed the “Four Horsemen”, transporting a shipment from Area 51. As the two soldiers driving the truck with the shipment debate what it could possibly be, a couple crashes into them, causing the shipment to flip over and crack open in a fiery explosion. A zombie, Zeus, emerges from it and begins killing and infecting the soldiers. Zeus and two infected soldiers see the skyline of Las Vegas, and go there and begin infecting people. The military tries to end the zombie outbreak there, but fails and is forced to quarantine the city, building a wall around it with shipping containers.

The film then goes to The Lucky Boy restaurant in Albuquerque, where Scott Ward, a mercenary who fought the zombies in Las Vegas, is working.
