Synopsis

Soundtrack to Our Teenage Zombie Apocalypse follows the story of four music-obsessed teens on a mission to win the Triple J Unearthed High competition who find themselves trapped in an abandoned building during a zombie apocalypse. Bandmates Ella and Nick are stuck in a zombie-infested ABC building, surviving on vending machine snacks while they try to finish the song that will take them to the big leagues. But when Ella's high school nemesis, Veronica and Nick's crippling celebrity crush, Locksley, appear out of thin air, they feel their chances of escaping and – more importantly – of winning Unearthed High start to slip away.
