ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES II - FINALIST IN 13HORROR.COM FILM & SCREENPLAY CONTEST 2025
TITLE: ZEEKA AND
THE ZOMBIES
CREATED BY: Brenda
Mohammed
FORMAT: Four
Episodes- Limited Series –TV- Sci-Fi Horror
LOGLINE: A Caribbean paradise meets
apocalypse when a mysterious outbreak linked to the Zika virus transforms dead
babies into 51 weaponized zombies and unleashes a massacre at the Carnival
celebrations in 2036.
COMPARISON:
Twilight Zone, Frankenstein, General Hospital
Rich Futuristic Settings:
Brenda Mohammed crafts an intense, character-driven sci-fi thriller set
in a richly imagined futuristic Caribbean world in 2036. The episodic structure
gives it a dynamic, suspenseful edge, making it well-suited for TV adaptation.
The story’s high-tech elements, including robots, brain-enhancing inventions, and
weaponized zombies, maintained tension throughout all four episodes. The fusion
of sci-fi, dark fantasy, Carnival celebrations, Caribbean folklore, and beaches
makes the story both unique and immersive, creating a visually stunning and
culturally rich backdrop.
Based on Reality: The zombie fiction is purely the
author’s imagination, inspired by the 2016 Zika virus outbreak, and where Good
triumphs over Evil.
Strong Character Arcs: The protagonist, Dr. Steven Sharpe, undergoes a profound
transformation, evolving from a victim to a hero. He was raised by the very man
who destroyed his family—Bill Grady, the corrupt Chief of Police. Yet instead
of becoming a monster, Steven became a compassionate healer and the island’s
hero. The antagonist, Bill Grady (Zeeka),
is a psychologically complex character, adding depth to the conflict. Known to his undead army as Master Zeeka, he
is the Architect of Chaos. Cold, calculating, and consumed by vengeance, he is
the embodiment of twisted genius. He kidnapped Dr. Steven Sharpe when he was
seven, changed his name to Jason Stephens, threatened to kill his family if he
escaped, sent him to medical school, and used him to create a vaccine for
pregnant women with the zika virus. When the vaccine was rejected by the Gosh
Hospital, he bribed a Government official to give him the dead babies and used
the vaccine to create zombies.
Episode 1. Dr.
Raynor Sharpe witnesses a chilling sight outside his beachfront home, zombies
marching in unison, only to vanish moments later. Soon after, a lone zombie
known as Number Nine arrives at Gosh Hospital, warning Dr. George Brown of an
impending massacre orchestrated by his enigmatic Master Zeeka. He said that
Zeeka, fuelled by revenge, seeks retribution for the events of 2016, when Dr.
Brown refused a vaccine that could have saved unborn babies from microcephaly,
a disease linked to the Zika virus. His wife perished in childbirth, and his
new-born did not survive. Fast forward to February 2036, and chaos unfolds.
Fifty-one lethal zombies, disguised as a sailor band, infiltrate the Carnival
celebration. With transponders controlling their fake heads, they unleash
destruction, leaving 125 dead and 75 severely injured before disintegrating
into ash. Police suspect Number Nine perished in the shootout with the other
lethal zombies. Dr. Raynor Sharpe and
Dr. Janet Jones marry.
Episode 2.
Detective Jack Wildy stumbles upon a flash drive holding shocking evidence.
Master Zeeka is none other than Chief of Police Bill Grady. At the same time,
Dr. Jason Stephens, hiding deep secrets, hands over another flash drive to
Janet, asking her to deliver it to Raynor. The drive confirms his real
identity. He is Dr. Steven Sharpe, Raynor’s long-lost brother, who was
kidnapped by Bill Grady [Zeeka] forty years ago. Determined to expose the
truth, Janet plays a key role in reuniting the brothers and unveiling Zeeka’s
real identity. As the investigation deepens, police discover evidence that nine
flesh-eating zombies lived in Grady’s basement, triggering a massive manhunt
for Grady and his monstrous creations, who were hiding in the forest.
Episode 3. As the manhunt for Grady intensifies, he
abandons his zombies in the forest and makes his way to Dr. Raynor Sharpe’s home
in search of Steven Sharpe. However, his
plan is cut short when Miranda, Janet’s wonderful robot helper,
spots him with a gun. With a swift display of taekwondo skills, she captures
him and alerts the authorities. Grady is charged with over 200 crimes, to which
he confesses. In a desperate plea, he asks to meet Steven, revealing his
twisted past, claiming he was once engaged to Margaret Sharpe, Steven’s mother,
before she left him for another man. Convinced that Steven is his biological
son, he kidnapped him all those years ago. But Steven rejects his claim and
refuses to forgive him. Grady takes his own life in prison. His ashes are
handed to Steven, while the police use Grady’s high-tech weapons to shrink and
destroy his remaining zombies.
Episode 4. The finale. Number Nine is alive. Mandy’s
robot assistant, Eve, discovers him in Steven’s backyard, where Grady’s ashes
were buried. He collapses from an epileptic seizure, and Eve alerts Gosh
Hospital. Tests confirm that Number Nine is not a zombie, but Bill Grady’s
biological son, misdiagnosed with microcephaly. Raynor helps him choose a new
name, Nieman Grady. Steven’s brilliance shines once more as he cures Nieman’s
brain ailment, Craniosynostosis, with his breakthrough CrainX invention. His
medical contributions redefine the island’s identity, transforming Carnival
Tourism into Medical Tourism, securing his place as Gosh’s ultimate hero.

WHAT READERS SAY:
"The Gift of Love, written by Mrs. Brenda Mohammed, is a most exciting and interesting mystery/romance set in the beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad. When you begin to read this story of true love, first for a beloved father and next for a first love, you will keep on reading to the end to know the outcome of the young lovers. The book gives us an insight into greed, bribery, and kidnapping by a heartless man. The heroine in the story never gave up, although she was considered insane by those she knew well. She was consistently told by all, including her husband, that she never had a child. Her only resort was to turn to her first love for help in locating her lost daughter. After five years, it was a shock to the hero to hear his beloved's voice, and he actually "went running" to her after securing leave from his job. He left no stone unturned in finding the beloved little girl and received the most wonderful surprise of his life. Do you want some excitement? Just read this story. It is definitely a treat for lovers of romance and mystery. I enjoyed reading it and highly recommend it to other readers."

A Reviewer said: "As seen through the wide-open eyes of an adorable teddy
bear, these stories are of Squeaky Doo’s adventures on the beach, in

Trinidad.
This teddy bear loves to travel with the family and the grandparents.
An extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and their friends join in the
fun-filled activities and celebrations.
A common theme is Squeaky Doo getting lost or left behind –on the beach, at the
wedding, at a store in the mall, on the cruise ship, or getting snatched by a

Not to worry, though, as Squeaky Doo somehow gets to go on yet another
