“Brains” is a web series set after a three year zombie apocalypse on a college campus. 23-year-old Alison Sumner is a neuropsychology student getting back into video blogging now that the apocalypse is finally dying down, though to cover her tracks she tells everyone she’s making a documentary. “Brains” is a vlog record of her life, her friends, her love life, her science, and the still-troubling post-apocalyptic world she lives in.
