The premise

After a zombie apocalypse spreads from a London prison, the UK is brought to its knees. The spread of the virus is temporarily contained but, without a cure, it’s only a matter of time before it breaks its boundaries and the biggest problem of all… any zombies with combat skills are now enhanced. With the South East of England quarantined from the rest of the world using fortified borders, intelligence finds that the scientist responsible for the outbreak is alive and well in London. With his recovery being the only hope of a cure, a squad of eight Special Forces soldiers is sent on a suicide mission to the city, now ruled by the undead, with a single task: get him out alive within 72 hours by any means necessary. What emerges is an unlikely pairing on a course to save humanity against ever-rising odds.

Horror Vault's take

When a catastrophic zombie outbreak locks down the whole of South East England, the last hope for a cure rests inside the quarantine zone — guarded by millions of the undead. A handpicked squad of Special Forces soldiers is dispatched on a near-impossible extraction mission, racing a 72-hour clock through streets overrun with relentless, flesh-hungry hordes. What sets this outbreak apart is a chilling twist on the undead formula: zombies who possessed combat skills in life haven't lost them in death. Redcon-1 delivers a muscle-and-mayhem siege into the heart of a fallen nation.
