Overview

After the apocalypse hits Hollywood, Ruby’s acting career is dead, her landlord’s a chatty zombie, and her roommate, Helena, is a vampire that drinks her blood in exchange for protection. As the two big personalities clash, Ruby and Helena struggle through self-tapes, jealousy, and sharing a bedroom. Ruby and Helena’s arrangement should be simple– it shouldn’t involve falling in love.
