HALF-DEAD HUSTLE
By Renae M Richardson

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

The cure is here, and it’s turning zombies back into humans. However, one halfling zombie is determined to destroy it, regardless of the sacrifices she must make.

SYNOPSIS:

Zombies are reverting back to their human forms. Some see it as salvation. Others see it as a nightmare.

Among them is Reina, a fierce and cunning halfling—part zombie, part human—who refuses to let go of her monstrous instincts. Unlike the others, she relishes the raw power, the hunger, and the freedom of being both undead and half alive. The sight of her invokes fear yet she is able to maintain the basic sensations and musings of humanity.

But with every passing day, more zombies begin their transition back to the living. Soon, the world will be normal again... unless she stops it.

Reina learns that the cause of the reversal is no accident. Someone, somewhere, has discovered and unleashed a cure. And she isn’t the only one seeking them. The Quarterlings, zombies who have turned mostly human but still retain a majority of their monstrous traits, are desperate to fully regain their lost humanity. They believe the cure is their last hope—and they’ll do anything to keep Reina from tearing it apart.

Now, in a race against time, Reina must outpace the quarterlings, track down the ones responsible, and devour them before the cure spreads too far. But as she fights her way through a crumbling world caught between life and death, an unsettling question haunts her: Is she fighting for survival, or has the hunger already consumed her soul?

A thrilling mix of horror and action, "Half-Dead Hustle" delivers a fresh and twisted take on the zombie genre—where the real nightmare isn’t the infection, but the cure.
