When the ZOM‑B pandemic turns living, breathing humans into brain‑damaged but otherwise harmless walking corpses, America does what it does best: pick sides. On the left: Zombie Lives Matter. On the right: Undead Is Un‑American. And our elected representatives? They're on the same side they've always been on. Their own.

So when Senate Majority Leader Mitch Stallman learns that ZOM‑B has mutated into a fast‑evolving strain that turns its victims into full‑blown, brain‑eating movie zombies, he devises a plan to ensure the House's historic ZOM‑B Bill of Rights not only dies in committee, but has the ACLU begging for ZOM‑B deportations.

The plan goes sideways in the most spectacular way possible. Stallman's sabotage triggers the newly mutated strain at the exact moment an unruly mob of protestors forces a full Capitol lockdown, sealing everyone inside.

Now it's up to four unlikely heroes — an idealistic first‑day intern, a grifting staffer, a snarky Capitol tour guide, and a street‑smart janitor with a mop fetish — to survive long enough to expose the truth. That is, until they discover the infection hasn't spread beyond these walls. Escaping means unleashing it on the world. And Mitch Stallman, now fully turned, has other plans entirely.
