A mysterious electromagnetic event called the Pulse turns everyone using cell phones into a murderous zombie, killing off most of the normal human race. An artist and family man, Clay Riddell watches the terrifying transformation and escapes to try and find his family.
The cell-phone zombies quickly evolve into a group-mind which is telepathic and psychokinetic with a hive spokesman called the Raggedy Man. They steer the remaining defiant humans into a fairground/arena setting, prepared to dispose of them. Clay and his friends have very little time. Can they destroy the altered race or will they become its last victims? | ||
