The only thing standing in their way? A zombie outbreak in London! Now, it’s up to a bunch of east-enders to fight their way out of the zombie-infested city, led by an unlikely gang of amateur bank robbers and foul-mouthed, plucky pensioners."

Before you know it, good old London Town is under attack from a deadly legion on flesh-eating nutters. But can Terry and Andy get some shooters, grab the loot and save their grandad from the night of the living brown bread before it all goes pear shaped?
