Even as a Zombie, She’s Still My Daughter

Texas girl Chloe goes to a college party hoping to dance, flirt, and maybe meet Mr. Right. Instead, she gets the deluxe zombie bite package. By morning, she has upgraded from sweet campus girl to bloodthirsty little monster, then bolts back to the family farm while the whole town grabs their guns and decides: this girl has got to go.

But her mother, Martha, is having none of it.

To everyone else, Chloe is a zombie. To Martha, she is just her baby girl going through an unusually aggressive phase, with a weird appetite and a minor people-biting problem. So this hardcore Texas mom goes to work: hot dogs in one hand, machine gun in the other, using slaps for discipline and a chainsaw for serious conversations, slowly dragging her out-of-control daughter back from “bite first, ask never” to “at least listen to your mother before eating someone.”

Then things get even stranger. Chloe can not only intimidate zombie hordes, but she also carries antibodies that may save the world. With the town trying to wipe her out, the military trying to capture her, and evolved zombies closing in, Martha opens fire all the way through, proving that a mother’s love is powerful, loud, and comes with serious recoil.

What begins as a zombie disaster turns into the most extreme mother-daughter bonding story Texas has ever seen. In the end, Martha wakes Chloe with love, discipline, and a few well-timed slaps, turning the girl who almost treated the town like an all-you-can-eat buffet into humanity’s last hope.
