Cross over the border into the wasteland of Scotland where a viral outbreak ushers in the dark age of DOOMSDAY.

In 2008 a viral outbreak called the Reaper Virus hit Scotland so badly that the country was quarantined off from neighboring England. Twenty-five years later, Eden Sinclair, who was one of the last to escape as a little girl, leads a team back into the hot zone to find the counteragent because the virus has re-emerged in London. Wandering through the wasteland of a once familiar Scotland, they discover that contamination is the least of the worries. Glasgow is now home to a clan of feral survivors whom Eden and her team battle to survive. A little Mad Max, a little 28 Days Later, Doomsday goes in some surprisingly violent, gory, and humorous directions as it deals with class structures, border control, and human nature.

Part of Nitehawk’s May THE WASTE LAND brunch and midnite series.
