In the year 2043, 30 years after the zombie apocalypse – the virus has evolved within us all and one touch will unleash it. Jack, and the last of humanity, live under the ultimate truce – to never touch again. Working day to day as a disposal officer for the bio-research initiative, Jack sees the last ravages of the plague – in those who defect, who succumb to touch, disease and a despicable death – but all from behind the safety of a pane of glass. Yet, as the memories of his mother’s last loving touch begin to unravel him, Jack sinks deeper into a void between the sterile and the depraved, where desire is forbidden, fear is mandatory and everything depends on which side of the glass you stand behind.
