TITLE: ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES

CREATED   BY:  Brenda Mohammed

FORMAT: Four Episodes- Limited Series –TV- Sci-Fi Horror

LOGLINE: A Caribbean paradise meets apocalypse when a mysterious outbreak linked to the Zika virus transforms dead babies into 51 weaponized zombies and unleashes a massacre at the Carnival celebrations in 2036.   

COMPARISON:    Twilight Zone, Frankenstein, General Hospital

Rich Futuristic Settings:  Brenda Mohammed crafts an intense, character-driven sci-fi thriller set in a richly imagined futuristic Caribbean world in 2036. The episodic structure gives it a dynamic, suspenseful edge, making it well-suited for TV adaptation. The story’s high-tech elements, including robots, brain-enhancing inventions, and weaponized zombies, maintained tension throughout all four episodes. The fusion of sci-fi, dark fantasy, Carnival celebrations, Caribbean folklore, and beaches makes the story both unique and immersive, creating a visually stunning and culturally rich backdrop.

Based on Reality: The zombie fiction is purely the author’s imagination, inspired by the 2016 Zika virus outbreak, and where Good triumphs over Evil.

Strong Character Arcs: The protagonist, Dr. Steven Sharpe, undergoes a profound transformation, evolving from a victim to a hero. He was raised by the very man who destroyed his family—Bill Grady, the corrupt Chief of Police. Yet instead of becoming a monster, Steven became a compassionate healer and the island’s hero. The antagonist, Bill Grady (Zeeka), is a psychologically complex character, adding depth to the conflict.  Known to his undead army as Master Zeeka, he is the Architect of Chaos. Cold, calculating, and consumed by vengeance, he is the embodiment of twisted genius. He kidnapped Dr. Steven Sharpe when he was seven, changed his name to Jason Stephens, threatened to kill his family if he escaped, sent him to medical school, and used him to create a vaccine for pregnant women with the zika virus. When the vaccine was rejected by the Gosh Hospital, he bribed a Government official to give him the dead babies and used the vaccine to create zombies.

Episode 1.  Dr. Raynor Sharpe witnesses a chilling sight outside his beachfront home, zombies marching in unison, only to vanish moments later. Soon after, a lone zombie known as Number Nine arrives at Gosh Hospital, warning Dr. George Brown of an impending massacre orchestrated by his enigmatic Master Zeeka. He said that Zeeka, fuelled by revenge, seeks retribution for the events of 2016, when Dr. Brown refused a vaccine that could have saved unborn babies from microcephaly, a disease linked to the Zika virus. His wife perished in childbirth, and his new-born did not survive. Fast forward to February 2036, and chaos unfolds. Fifty-one lethal zombies, disguised as a sailor band, infiltrate the Carnival celebration. With transponders controlling their fake heads, they unleash destruction, leaving 125 dead and 75 severely injured before disintegrating into ash. Police suspect Number Nine perished in the shootout with the other lethal zombies.  Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Dr. Janet Jones marry.

 Episode 2. Detective Jack Wildy stumbles upon a flash drive holding shocking evidence. Master Zeeka is none other than Chief of Police Bill Grady. At the same time, Dr. Jason Stephens, hiding deep secrets, hands over another flash drive to Janet, asking her to deliver it to Raynor. The drive confirms his real identity. He is Dr. Steven Sharpe, Raynor’s long-lost brother, who was kidnapped by Bill Grady [Zeeka] forty years ago. Determined to expose the truth, Janet plays a key role in reuniting the brothers and unveiling Zeeka’s real identity. As the investigation deepens, police discover evidence that nine flesh-eating zombies lived in Grady’s basement, triggering a massive manhunt for Grady and his monstrous creations, who were hiding in the forest.

Episode 3.   As the manhunt for Grady intensifies, he abandons his zombies in the forest and makes his way to Dr. Raynor Sharpe’s home in search of Steven Sharpe.  However, his plan is cut short when Miranda, Janet’s wonderful robot helper, spots him with a gun. With a swift display of taekwondo skills, she captures him and alerts the authorities. Grady is charged with over 200 crimes, to which he confesses. In a desperate plea, he asks to meet Steven, revealing his twisted past, claiming he was once engaged to Margaret Sharpe, Steven’s mother, before she left him for another man. Convinced that Steven is his biological son, he kidnapped him all those years ago. But Steven rejects his claim and refuses to forgive him. Grady takes his own life in prison. His ashes are handed to Steven, while the police use Grady’s high-tech weapons to shrink and destroy his remaining zombies.

Episode 4.  The finale. Number Nine is alive. Mandy’s robot assistant, Eve, discovers him in Steven’s backyard, where Grady’s ashes were buried. He collapses from an epileptic seizure, and Eve alerts Gosh Hospital. Tests confirm that Number Nine is not a zombie, but Bill Grady’s biological son, misdiagnosed with microcephaly. Raynor helps him choose a new name, Nieman Grady. Steven’s brilliance shines once more as he cures Nieman’s brain ailment, Craniosynostosis, with his breakthrough CrainX invention. His medical contributions redefine the island’s identity, transforming Carnival Tourism into Medical Tourism, securing his place as Gosh’s ultimate hero.
