Outpost

Synopsis

In a war-torn corner of Eastern Europe, a world-weary group of mercenaries discover a long-hidden secret in an abandoned Second World War bunker. A secret so dark and so powerful, it could tear them apart – literally! In a seedy bar in a town ravaged by war, mysterious businessman Hunt hires ex-marine D.C. to assemble a crack team of ex-soldiers to protect him on a dangerous journey into no-man’s land. To this gang of hardened warriors, battle-worn veterans and borderline criminals killing is just a job - and one they enjoy. Their mission - to scope out an old military bunker. It should be easy – 48 hours at the most. Lots of cash for little risk.

Or so he says.

In this day and age, people know how to handle “Zee’s”. The latest craze is the Zombie Safari - Zafari - a chance to go out and shoot the un-dead in the wild. The ultimate blood sport experience, and for many the ultimate therapeutic revenge following the losses su!ered during the outbreak.

So far...
