Based on the novel by M. R. Carey, The Girl With All The Gifts tells the story of a dystopian future in which most of humanity is wiped out by a fungal infection…
Humanity has been all but destroyed by a mutated disease that eradicates free will and turns its victims into flesh-eating “hungrier” and only a small group of children are left immune to its effects.
At an army base in rural England, this group of unique children are being studied and subjected to cruel experiments by biologist Dr. Caldwell. Despite having been infected with the zombie pathogen that has decimated the world, and feel the craving for human flesh; these children retain normal thoughts and emotions, making them a vital resource in the search for a cure.
The children attend school lessons daily, guarded by the ever watchful Sergeant Parks. But one little girl, Melanie, stands out from the rest. Melanie is special. She excels in the classroom, is inquisitive, imaginative and loves her favourite teacher Miss Justineau.
When the base falls, Melanie escapes along with Miss Justineau, Sergeant Parks and Dr. Caldwell. Against the backdrop of a blighted Britain, Melanie must discover what she is and ultimately decide both her own future and that of the human race.
