A ramblingly mischievous radio presenter, who works on the breakfast show of a station in Pontypool, Canada (not Wales), begins to relay reports of increasingly violent and worrying incidences of apparent rioting flaring-up across the town, bringing the sleepy backwater to the attention of the world’s media, in McDonald’s talky, tense, and thoughtful (sort of) zombie film.
