He meets a female reporter and his bubbly alter ego who works in this.
She is annoyed to find the initials DMK have the sixth highest score on the theater's video game, on which all the other scores are hers. She stays after the theater closes to assist her boyfriend Larry, the theatre’s projectionist to sneak back in so he can loan out a film reel for illegal duplication for his own profit. He offers to pay for her assistance from what he expects to earn in the morning when the other party returns the film reel in the morning. Reggie and Larry spend the night in the steel-lined projection booth and have sex.Meanwhile, Reggie's 16-year-old sister Samantha 'Sam' argues with their stepmother Doris, who Sam implies is cheating on her father. It is revealed during the argument that Sam and Reggie’s father is away on active military duty. Doris, upset by Sam’s accusation, slaps her in the face.
Sam retaliates and slaps Doris back. Doris then punches Sam in the face sending her flying over the couch and on to the floor. Sam ultimately spends the night in a steel backyard shed.The next morning, a reddish haze gloomy covers the sky and there are no signs of life but piles of red dust and heaps of clothing everywhere. Unaware that anything has occurred, Larry goes outside and is killed by a wielding a pipe wrench. After playing the video game to replace DMK’s initials with her own, Reggie goes looking for Larry outside, mistaking the red overcast sky as bad smog. She quickly encounters the zombie, but escapes on Larry’s motorcycle.
She heads home to find her sister and they surmise that because they both spent the night in steel containers, they were saved from the comet's effects.The sisters race to the local radio station after they hear a on air, only to find it was a pre-recorded show. They come across another survivor there, Hector Gomez, who spent the night in the back of his steel truck. When Sam talks into the microphone, she is heard by researchers in an underground installation out in the desert. As they listen to Reggie, Sam and Hector debate what to do, the scientists note that the zombies, though less exposed to the comet, will eventually disintegrate into dust themselves. Hector leaves to check if any of his family survived, but promises to return as soon as possible.Reggie and Sam then go shopping for guns and clothing at a mall. After a firefight with some zombie stock boys, the girls are taken prisoner, but are saved by a rescue team sent by the scientists.
Reggie is taken back to their base. Audrey White, a disillusioned scientist, offers to dispose of Sam, who she diagnosed as having been exposed to the comet due to her developing rash and to wait for Hector to return.
After she fakes Sam by injecting her with only with a sedative, she kills the other remaining scientist. When Hector returns after an encounter with a zombie child, Audrey briefs him on the situation and then gives herself a lethal injection. Sam and Hector set out to rescue Reggie.Back at the base we learn that the researchers had suspected and prepared for the comet's effects, but inadvertently left the ventilation system open and the fans running during the comet's passage.
This allowed the deadly dust to permeate their base. Reggie has become suspicious, escapes, and discovers that the dying scientists have hunted down and rendered healthy survivors brain dead.
They harvest their untainted blood to keep the disease at bay while they search desperately for a cure. Reggie saves a young boy and a girl before they are processed, then unplugs the other victims from their life support machines.
Sam and Hector arrive and rescue the trio.Eventually, rain washes away the red dust, leaving the sky in clear. After Reggie pairs up with Hector, and take parental roles with the kids, Sam feels left out.

Further inspiration came from real-life teenage girls whom he met while filming PBS specials. Without telling the girls details about the script's premise, he asked them to describe how they would react to an apocalyptic event. The girls saw the scenario as an exciting adventure and only saw a downside to the experience when Eberhardt brought up the subject of dating. Using their answers, Eberhardt wrote the script to be lighthearted and adventuresome. Eberhardt initially had trouble convincing the studio to let him direct it, but they relented when he held out, as was looking to immediately invest $700,000.
