15:52 is a character driven, psychological tragedy/horror set in a Central Australian township, 15 years after an apocalyptic event has driven humanity to the brink of extinction.

The drama is underpinned by the ever-present knowledge that 'something' is coming. This something being zombies, tens of thousands of them hunting the last remnants of humanity. Zombies the audience never clearly sees, only their impact on the lives of the characters.

The introduction of a stranger to the town starts a chain of events that will change them all forever.

The title 15:52 references the Biblical chapter and verse (Corinthians 15:52) most often associated with the zombie genre, but usually contracted to 'the dead shall rise'. The complete quote being:

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
