WEBTOON describes the story:
When a zombie apocalypse hits during the practice of a high school basketball team, it's a whole new life for the coach, Jeff. The world's turned upside down and the girls seem to be handling the changes way better than Jeff, who has troubles adjusting. A close-knit group of friends, the girls are eager to tackle this new world with its challenges!
Lion Forge will finance the script, with CEO David Steward II and President Stephanie Sperber producing. On the WEBTOON side, David Madden and Jason Goldberg will serve as executive producers.
