"BAIT ON THE WIRE" Lost at sea and starving in a world gone to Hell where the living dead are free to feast to their morbid hearts' contents, Captain Jack and his fellow survivors watch salvation sail into view. But hauling themselves on board an abandoned luxury liner for sanctuary fear grips an already bickering crew! Everyone knows rats leave a sinking ship but this one's still floating - So what happened to all of them? It isn't vermin skulking in the shadows that has hooked them like bait on the wire, and deep down in the hull even worse nightmares wait in remorseless grim silence!
