Vince is handling his divorce badly. He’s depressed. Gone to pieces. But his mates aren’t giving up on him. Struggling with their own mid-life troubles, they drag him off for a boy’s weekend in the country... which goes horribly twisted when they find themselves holidaying in a village overrun by psychotic, homicidal women.
Forced to hide out in the empty shops when their minibus driver also goes crazy, they’re cut off and helpless. And clueless. But then they encounter an injured soldier, the sole survivor of a bloody massacre, and discover that an airborne toxin is the cause of this disaster - a toxin that only affects women, turning them into man-hating, frenzied cannibals.
Seven of these deranged women, each with an axe or two to grind, stalk the streets. The soldier insists that the whole town has turned, but he doesn’t know where the rest of the women are hiding. Somewhere out there, there are dozens more. Maybe hundreds.
Two of the boys, stuck up on a billboard, attempt to take out the opposition with a bag of golf balls. But they’re dropped into the fight when the billboard is cut down, crashing across the entry road and preventing the boys from driving out of there.
Getting back to boy scout basics, the boys utilise anything and everything at their disposal to fight off the infected women. Communicating with toy A-Team walkie-talkies, they attempt to distract the infected women with radio-controlled cars, and fight back with water pistols filled with nitro fluid. Their most ingenious plan, dressing up in women’s clothes and sneaking away under their noses, works for about twenty seconds. One violent street fight later, and everyone is holed up in a CHURCH, waiting for daybreak.

This turns out to be their unluckiest plan yet. Below the church, the underground crypt is wall to wall with dead meat. This is where the town’s men have ended up, as FOOD. The crypt is a NEST. We’ve found the rest of the women. They’re feeding.
And CHANGING. The second stage of the infection is kicking in. They’re getting uglier, and nastier... and SMARTER.
Escaping on to the rooftops from a church packed with rabid freaks, the boys’ numbers drop again thanks to a brutal assault from the town Butcher. The last survivors end up back on the minibus with no way out of town. But something has happened to Vince. The boyish behaviour required to beat the odds here has kicked his mid-life crisis into high gear. He guns the minibus engine and takes the boys OFF ROAD, navigating a bumpy, scenic route to freedom.
But when Vince’s walkie-talkie crackles to life with the voice of a friend they all thought had been killed, they know they can’t leave. The bus screeches to a halt and the boys head back into hell for the final confrontation or, at the very least, a Butch and Sundance ending. Sean crashes bus back through the billboard barrier and skids to a halt before a snarling horde of bloodthirsty demonic women.
