Lee Jung-hwan is a professional tiger trainer who lives a chaotic daily life with his rebellious teenage daughter, Su-ah. When a zombie virus sweeps across the globe, Su-ah becomes infected. Instead of turning her in to the authorities, Jung-hwan takes her to his mother's rural seaside home to protect her. Drawing on his years of experience as a beast-tamer, he attempts to retrain his zombie daughter in secret while hiding her from a society desperate to eliminate all remaining infected individuals. This heartwarming and hilarious project explores the unconventional bond between a father and his last remaining zombie daughter.
