Detailed Plot: 

A group of young adults, male and female from London go on a weekend away, where they drive up to the Yorkshire Dales and beauty hotspot Ilkley. The group come to a small village ( Addingham ) just over the hill from Ilkley, which unaware to them has become abandoned from an infection throughout the population caught from dead animals. This small compact village is now the residence of infected humans who have been bitten by these 'zombie' animals, who are in the process of turning into zombies themselves.

The group stop in the village to find someone to ask for directions, they walk into a ghost-like pub where people are sat around eating in silence, these people are infected. The group are suspicious and concerned, they are greeted by a bartender, with a glazed over expression and creepy attitude. They ask for directions and get no response and are oblivious to the individuals in the pub around them who are eating raw meat, an obvious symbol of insanity.

The group leave, they walk to the car and two dead animals under the wheel of the car (they weren't there before). The car drives on down an abandoned road, sees a person stood with their back to them. They ask this person for directions, the person turns around looking dead like and zombified. This leads the group to drive away quickly, where they end up in the middle of nowhere near a forested area. Furthermore one of the members of the group wonders of to find help, they get lost and are chased through the wood/forest area. Leading to them being bitten by a zombie, where the last shot ends on her falling on the floor.
