Chicken of the dead
This Saturday evening, the entire small town of Gerbier gathered at the village hall to celebrate the work of Bernard Lepique, local agri-food magnate, and creator of the famous “Fifty Chicken”, a 50% industrial product, but above all 50% organic.
But when Bernard offers the room a tasting of his new product, the “Fifty Brased”, things begin to degenerate and the different Gerbelins (inhabitants of Gerbier) transform into hybrids, half-chicken, half-zombies.
Hunted by these strange creatures, our poor tycoon must flee to save his skin.
