Synopsis/Details
Sequestered at an abandoned miners camp in a remote region near the U.S./Canada border a trio of Middle Eastern Islamic extremists are hatching a diabolical scheme to bring “The Great Satan America” to its knees. By experimenting on volunteer martyrs with doses of a flesh-eating virus they hope to realize their dream.
The Muslim men are led by Mullah Nassir, a pompous cleric who yearns to see “stupid Americans eating one another in the streets.” Their research is conducted by Ziad - a scientist with a secret heroin addiction who blames America for the death of his wife. The muscle is supplied by Ahmed – a thug with a fetish for tying up and abusing women.
Ziad’s teenage son, Jamal, works at a nearby lodge catering to cross-country skiers. Mullah Nassir frowns on Jamal fraternizing with the enemy – especially since he has his own perverted designs on Jamal. Meanwhile poor Jamal pines for Cindy, the daughter of the lodge owner.
Much to the would-be terrorists surprise they discover that their virus plague first kills and then reanimates the martyr volunteers, turning them into cannibalistic zombies. But they don’t learn this until one of their dead “martyrs” disappears. The escaped zombie reeks havoc and his blood trail leads the terrorists to the ski lodge.
The handful of guests at the lodge include Mike Hunt, an Iraq War veteran who is on a suicide mission of his own – with himself as the target. Horribly wounded and psychologically scarred from his time in the war, Hunt has decided to end it all. Also staying at the lodge are three bikini models on a photo shoot along with their flamboyant photographer and his assistant.
After an avalanche cuts off the road leading to the ski lodge the guests think they will be spending a few extra carefree days partying, but they’re in for a rude surprise when the terrorists arrive in force. The terrorists execute two wounded lodgers and march the rest back to their abandoned miners camp where horrors await.
The three bikini models, Cindy and Hunt are bound to overhead pipes in a bunkhouse. Mullah Nassir relishes the chance to let loose his zombies in a controlled experiment – with the captives as food. The women must also contend with Ahmed and his twisted bondage games.
When Ahmed attempts to defile Cindy Jamal goes berserk and kills Ahmed with a jagged mop handle. Jamal releases Cindy but not the others. Cindy treks back to the lodge to retrieve Hunt’s handgun hidden in a hollowed-out Bible. Unfortunately, she is met by her zombified father who views her as a midnight snack.
Hunt vows to the women that if he survives he’ll wipe-out as many Muslim terrorists as he can – and in the final scene Hunt reveals his plan to take the fight to the terrorists in their own backyard.
