After being bugged by his boss Jeff Dave returns to his office to see office bully Roy picking on timid coworker Steven, who snaps and attacks Roy in a fit of rage. Roy is hospitalized and Jeff is furious. Jeff snaps at everyone but calms down and gives them the day off. Dave leaves full of joy and decides to go to the bar with Alan. At the bar Dave drunkenly hits on a waitress, much to her embarrassment. After several drinks Dave blacks out and wakes up in his apartment, hearing his phone ringing. Taking the call Dave hears Jeff, who tells him to come to the rec hall for an emergency. Dave immediately goes but when he gets there is greeted by his other coworkers: Sam, Alan, Steven, and the younger Tim. Jeff comes in and tells the group that Roy is in the hospital. Heartbroken by Roy's injury Jeff reveals that he has brought the group together for a team building exercise. Jeff also reveals an assistant who will help him: Liz, the waitress from before. Dave goes outside to clear his head.

Washing his face in the bathroom Dave hears moaning and goes outside to investigate. To his horror he sees the bloody corpse of a man being eaten by a stranger. The bloodied stranger gets up and tries to bite Dave before Dave reluctantly beats him to death. Traumatized Dave walks back in to the rec room where trust falls are taking place. Dave blurts out that someone died, causing Tim to drop on his trust fall. Jeff interprets this as guilt for Roy's injury and convinces him to join the exercise. Dave joins and Sam confides with him that she had a similar encounter arriving at the rec hall. After the stress builds up Dave convinces Alan to help him prove that he was attacked. Dave and Alan go to the bathroom, where they see the body of the attacker. Alan is convinced and they begin to leave until they are once again attacked. Just as they are about to be attacked Roy arrives, revealing Jeff planned from to come as a surprise. The attacker bites on Roy before being killed by Alan. After Roy collapses he rises up, now seemingly mindless and vicious. Roy chases Dave and Alan until they make it to the rec hall. Getting inside the rec hall Dave and Alan reveal Roy to the group, groping the door. Roy suddenly leaves, baffling the group. After Dave, Alan, and Sam shares their encounters Steven deduces that a zombie apocalypse is happening. Liz reveals that her husband was bitten by a strange man, causing her to break down in tears after realizing what it means. Jeff becomes determined to continue the team building, stating that it will be a valuable time passer until help arrives. Meanwhile Roy alerts more zombies to the building, causing a horde to invade.

At the rec hall the group spend the time by revealing their issues. Dave feels like a failure, Sam faced harassment at her previous job, Alan is an alcoholic, Steven feels like no one takes him seriously, and Tim wants to be seen as more than a kid. Feeling powerful Dave and Sam do a trust fall, Sam catching Dave. Jeff senses the good energy and has the group do roleplay. Steven roleplays with Tim but Steven attacks Tim after Tim brings up traumatic memories. Tim dodges only for Steven to hit Liz instead, knocking her out. The group is horrified by this and Steven yells at them, inadvertently attracting the zombies. The zombies break in and are about to eat Steven until he throws Liz to them instead. Dave grabs a binder and beats some of the zombies to death. The others find supplies and manage to kill the zombies. Dave breaks down at Steven, revealing that he had met Liz the night before. Jeff states that he's going to call the police to report Steven but finds that he has no signal. The others look at their phones and see this as well. Jeff tells Dave that as soon as they get out he's fired due to drinking the night before. This escalates into an argument until Steven begins laughing, saying that they're all fools. Alan insults Steven but Steven coldly retorts that he'd feed them all to the zombies if he had the chance. Dave and the others, minus Steven, go outside only to see that the place is surrounded by zombies. They run in and try to get back in to the rec hall only to see that the door is locked. Steven taunts them and refuses to let them in, only to be eaten alive by a zombified Liz.

Dave and the others are surrounded by the zombie horde until Jeff tells them to leave. Realizing that Jeff intends to sacrifice himself Sam pleads him not to but Jeff dives in, letting the zombies eat him. With the zombie horde distracted Dave, Sam, Alan, and Tim manage to escape the rec hall and make it to another room. Inside the room they see a corpse with a walkie talkie next to it. Dave grabs the walkie talkie and someone from the army asks where they are. Dave tells him that they're in the rec hall, and he responds that the army will be on their way. The group sighs and lets their guard down, only for Alan to be attacked by a zombie. After killing the zombie. Thinking that Alan's been bitten Dave prepares to shoot him until its revealed that Alan was only scratched. Tim asks what they'll do now and Dave replies that they should kill every zombie in the rec hall. Tim disagrees at first but Dave convinces him to do it. Arming themselves with weapons the group kills all the zombies they can find, including Roy. Just as the final horde arrives Dave realizes he's out of bullets. Sam, Alan, and Tim use their other weapons but the horde becomes too large to fight off. Realizing the horde is too much the group solemnly accept their fate until the army bursts in, killing the remaining zombies. The army commander tells them that they'll be taken to a safe spot and Dave and Sam share a kiss, much to Tim's disgust.
