A hungry, loving aspin (Filipino breed) rescue named Runo sets out to get her owner, Aimee, from school to fill her food bowl in the midst of an apocalyptic Philippines.
She outmaneuvers near death encounters with zombies who get a whiff of her fresh blood throughout her journey of walking through cities—all except one. A big mutant zombie dog follows Runo, who reunites with Aimee.
Through a series of unfortunate events, Runo was bitten by the zombie dog and gets turned into one. Aimee, just like their loving dog, doesn’t give up on her.
