Synopsis
A group of teenagers who, little by little, have been making their way through life. Together they have organized the most popular party of their generation to celebrate the Day of the Dead, but between costumes, loud music and children asking for candy, no one has realized that the zombie apocalypse has arisen in their private house. Some believe that these beings are part of the party itself, but when things get out of control, the group will have to unite in a series of unexpected and dangerous adventures.
