Logline: When a homeless man is given a second chance by one of the country's most powerful companies, he soon discovers his new employer has different plans for him.
Synopsis: Outside of a recently refurbished building in Baltimore, Trevor waits in line to enter after learning it is a new homeless shelter operated by AMAZING ENTERPRISES. Once inside, staff interview Trevor and learn he is a veteran with forklift operating experience and he is offered a job at the company's new warehouse in New Orleans, where they will provide him with a room, pay, and medication for his mental health issues.
On arrival in New Orleans, Trevor is assigned a roommate who explains that the company can track him anywhere in the facility. After the roommate leaves, Trevor finds a note from a previous tenant of suspicions that something strange is going on at the facility. At the cafeteria later, Trevor was not dispensed his medications. Bringing this up to his supervisor, he is directed to the housing manager, who pushes him off to make an appointment at medical.
Going to medical, Trevor finds it empty but discovers an unlocked door. Entering, he goes to his doctor's office to leave a not and finds a hidden door ajar. Investigating, he discovers another worker being transformed into a zombie with the help of the doctor and a Voodoo priest.
Slipping out of medical, he follows a nurse who is escorting the newly made zombie downstairs. Once there, Trevor finds a lower warehouse filled with mindless zombies the company can work endlessly for free. Discovered, he tries to escape but is ultimately captured. Tied to a gurney in medical, staff try to convince Trevor that he has been hallucinating events and get him to calm down before the Voodoo priest tells Trevor will make a fine zombie.
Trevor winds up another mindless zombie slowly maneuvering a forklift in the basement while reporters discuss Amazing Enterprise's push to expand to new locations.
