An outcast controls a zombie legion yet stalls at a bridge guarded by one mutant horror.
Ethan's family abandons him as society collapses, pushing him to gamble on a black-market evolution serum. The dose rewrites his biology: the shambling dead no longer attack but kneel, swelling into a silent army that follows his every order. While the living flood south toward Denver's promised safety, he drives north alone, drawn to a river crossing where a single mutated horror has anchored the bridge for three weeks. Each day his controlled dead grow stronger, blurring the line between master and monster.
