APOTCALYPSE

APOTCALYPSE
By Brooke Hemphill

GENRE: Science Fiction, Comedy
LOGLINE:

Her dad's carked it and his missus is a gold-digging psycho. What's a sheila to do? Fang it across the Aussie outback thru a zombie apocalypse, all while ripped to the tits... of course!

SYNOPSIS:

If there’s one thing loner stoner Danni Smith learned when she was growing up it’s that you can only rely on yourself.

Her alco Dad has been peddling this principle for as long as she can remember. And it’s a dictum she’s taken to heart. Her Mum died when she was little. Her sister took off when she was a teenager. And she had a falling out with her one-time mate Kylie. Life has done a great job of reinforcing the message.

Now in her 30s, Danni is fully indoctrinated.

Working at the family hotel in Victoria, the Cock and Bull pub – aka, the Cock and Balls – she doesn’t need anyone. At least, not until her Dad carks it and his gold-digging miso, Maureen, lays claim to the pub.

According to Murray’s last will and testament, bodgily tattooed on his bum cheek, the pub belongs to Danni and her sister Zoe. But Maureen thinks otherwise. Problem is, Danni can’t seem to get Zoe on the blower.

That’s because a pandemic is sweeping across Australia knocking out shitloads of the population. The phone lines are down. The internet is glitching. Society is starting to crumble – even the bloody pubs are closing!

Determined to find Zoe and save the Cock and Balls from mad-as-a-cut-snake Maureen, Danni heads off on a mission 15-hour’s drive north to Nimbin.

But when her car won’t start, she's forced to accept the help of her former BFF Kylie. Packing her dacks about what Maureen will do while she’s gone, Danni chucks her in the car too.

It’s all fun and games until victims of the pandemic rise from the dead. When Kylie gets crook, Danni will be forced to reassess everything she knows and finally ask for help.
