Suggested by tylerhamilton
The Dead have begun to rise with an insatiable hunger for the flesh of living humans. Mere weeks after the Dead have risen, society is beginning to crumble. Two TV Station Personnel, couple Stephen & Fran, and two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. Team members Peter and Roger, run off in a stolen helicopter in hopes of finding a better place to hide out away from the city. But when they stumble upon a shopping mall, what becomes a temporary pit stop ends up becoming a more permanent home as they look to clear out the zombies and make the mall their own home. But little do they know is that while they enjoy the unlimited excess of goods contained within the safe walls, the Dead begin to grow more in number and the greed and avarice begins to grow inside our survivors and it may be too late to stop either one.
