Ziam presents a unique take on the zombie genre by intertwining a climate-related famine with a fast-paced zombie outbreak in near-future Thailand. The narrative centers around Singh, a driver who uses his Muay-Thai skills for survival and protection, while his girlfriend Rin works as a doctor. Their lives intersect dramatically when Rin's hospital becomes a focal point for the viral outbreak. The story incorporates social commentary through Mr. Vasu, an entrepreneur promoting alternative food sources, providing depth beyond typical zombie action thrills.
In near-future Thailand, food is scarce, but federal propaganda assures us that life is worse elsewhere. Purposefully isolated from the outside world, Thai society is still more or less functional, thanks in part to the efforts of a wealthy entrepreneur named Mr Vasu, who popularized a new type of food made from processed insects.
When Rin's hospital becomes ground zero for a viral zombie outbreak, Singh's Muay-Thai training suddenly becomes very useful, helping him to circumvent the military lockdown and fight his way to where Rin is hiding out on one of the top floors.
