A zombie survival thriller where the sins of the past manifest in ghastly forms. It follows a cast of characters who navigate the remnants of a bygone era, in the meantime confronting the undead echoes of Soviet experimentation of the Cold War period.
The movie’s heroine is Mara, a stern and resolute servicewoman who possesses supernatural powers inherited from her grandmother. She embarks on a harrowing quest to uncover the truth behind her brother’s disappearance, delving into the depths of a secret Soviet bunker and confronting the horrors that lie within.
Bacon plays Stan Olszewski, a sharp, funny, but chronically underachieving security guard, who breaks up an attempted robbery at the home of Cynthia Rand (Sedgwick), a successful urologist married to brilliant former Watergate prosecutor Warren Rand (Judd Hirsch). From this chance encounter grows a charged and dynamic friendship – first as late-night text sessions filled with humor and intimate revelations, growing into something that shakes the foundation of both their lives.
