Once the polluted energy beverage is consumed by the party-goers, it turns them into murderous, crazy mutants.

In spite of her hypochondriac propensities, Becky decides to face her worries in a defend survival through the night, using her wit to arrange strategies, control individuals, and prevent infestation.

Characters
