American camp counselors prepare summer camp and as they ready the

living creatures into undead zombies. The soon find themselves
turning on each other there is no safe place to hide... in Albert
Marini's Summer Camp (2015).
Will,
Antonio, Christy and Michelle became camp counselors, but the night
before camp starts they planned to have a wild party and orgy only to
discover they have become infected with the undead. As they begin
turn against each other, they try to discover the source of what is
turning them, but what they didn't know is that it only lasts about
20 minutes. It is only until too late they discover it was the

horror begins, they begin to panic and their fear turns them on each
