During the 22nd Century, science and technology had advanced beyond ethical bounds, so most of mankind reversed course. Eventually, global dictatorships violated the United Nation's Bioethics Treaty, secretly stockpiling arms. As a result, an oblivious America was attacked. Retaliation with augmented nuclear weaponry had unforeseen effects, affecting most survivors in the Western Hemisphere and altering the rest. Those infected became ravenous beasts, feeding off the remaining population. But pockets of humanity remain.
Day Zero is an award-winning, zero-budget indie series about a future war-torn America that had never advanced its technical prowess due to a world treaty for peace -- that is, until secret dictatorships attacked her with augmented nuclear weaponry, decimating most of the population and altering some of the survivors into a primordial state.
