A group led by a newly appointed safety officer enters a forest on a mission to locate and eliminate a zombie while prioritizing group safety. As they cautiously explore, they notice heavy, unfamiliar three-toed footprints and discover a food source to mark for later. Suspicious of the quiet surroundings and lack of zombie sightings, the team investigates an area with dead trees and blackened ground. They soon detect a rotting flesh odor and uncover a zombie nest, preparing themselves for an imminent fight that could determine their survival.
