He's an American Working in Manila When the Apocalypse Begins
More than 30 million people used to live in Metro Manila (about four times the population of New York City). Now, most of them are dead—but still walking—and hungry.
Former Army helicopter pilot, Jim Taylor, and a small group of survivors are hiding in his 20th-floor condo overlooking the burning city and the bloodbath happening in the streets below.
Food and water are running out. Jim and his friend, Glenn, decide to leave the safety of the condo on a quest to save a trapped boy and hopefully pick up some supplies on the way back that could help them survive a few more weeks.
But the zombie horde follows them home up the fire exit stairs. The only safe place is up. What will they do when they reach the roof six floors above?
Meanwhile, at the nearby Manila airport, a CIA agent and two US Marines watch their C-130 burn. They survive, but the pilots aren’t so lucky.
A radio distress call connects the two groups. The CIA agent shares intel that might explain the apocalypse. He needs their help to commandeer a helicopter and undertake a suicide mission to save the world. They must recover an antidote from a jungle lab where the virus was developed and accidentally released.

Synopsis:
He’s an American living in Manila when the Apocalypse Begins.
Jim Taylor and a small group of survivors are trapped in his powerless, sweltering-hot, high-rise condo overlooking a burning city and the bloodbath unfolding in the streets 20 floors below.
The undead horde is climbing the fire escape stairs toward them, and the group must find a way to escape.
Meanwhile, mankind’s only salvation is an antidote sitting in a remote jungle lab where the virus was developed—and accidentally released.
Jim, a CIA agent, a Filipino, and two U.S. Marines are the only ones close enough to retrieve the antidote before it’s destroyed.
Jim hasn’t piloted an aircraft since getting shot down on his final mission in Afghanistan. Despite their poor odds of success, the group commandeers a helicopter and sets out on a suicide mission to save the world.
