Private Project

The Fragmentals

Ambitious but pessimistic songwriter Ryan has big plans for his future, but his music is going nowhere. That is until a freak accident turns him into a zombie! Taking this bizarre second chance at life (or in his case, death!) as fate, Ryan decides to form a glam metal band and make it big with the help of new friends Jimmy and Marcy. With fame mounting in quick succession, it seems nothing can stand in their way...
