About

DJ Dre's Brooklyn warehouse party turns into a fight against zombies when the undead attack its drag queens, club kids and guests.

DJ Dre (Katy O'Brian) is organising a large warehouse party with a drag show in Brooklyn. The main act cancels, the toilets are blocked, and a few straight influencers arrive just as the event begins, who could cause trouble. In the middle of the night a zombie apocalypse breaks out, and the undead try to get into the club. The mixed crowd of drag queens, club kids, frenemies and party guests — among them Sam (Jaquel Spivey), Ginsey (Nina West), Nico (Tómas Matos), Barry (Quincy Dunn-Baker), Pops (Margaret Cho), Kelsey (Jack Haven) and Jimmy (Cheyenne Jackson) — has to face the situation together. High heels, glitter and cocktail shakers become their weapons against the brain-hungry zombies.
