The zombie apocalypse hit women first, turning them into rabid killers going after their men, and only after all of womankind (and the majority of men) was turned would the survivors start to get things under control again - a very fragile control, as the zombies (called "the rotten" here) were all but eliminated, the living have just grown more capable of defending themselves.

One of the "leaders" of new mankind is Jebediah (Michael Camp), a no-good guy pre-apocalypse who has now collected a gang of cutthroats as his followers, and through looting they had a relatively good life so far ... but with most of humankind gone, there's the point where there's little left to loot, so Jebediah's men grow restless. But Jebediah has one rich buddy who would give him anything in exchange for a real, live woman ... and wouldn't you know it, Jebediah's former best friend Glenn's (Aaron Guerrero) daughter Emma (Alexandria Lightford in the first two episodes, Erin Miracle from episode three onwards) has survived the apocalypse unturned. So Jebediah and his retarded brother Zeke (Kevin C. Beardsley) go to fetch Emma ... but Glenn, a god-fearing man, and Emma, are prepared for all sorts of threats, and ultimately not only chase Jebediah away, his brother Zeke is also attacked and infected by a zombie along the way, forcing Jebediah to shoot him dead. Even if he knows better, Jebediah blames this on Glenn.

After a twister wrecks their home and fortress, Glenn and Emma flee to "the Shambles", a safe haven for circus performers mainly, but on the way there, Glenn is attacked and bitten by a zombie, and his health is steadily deteriorating, causing Emma, with the help of Skinny (Joe McQueen), making her way to Doctor Emerson (Darryl Dick), who's said to have developed a serum to fight the zombie plague ... but before she can accomplish anything, she is captured by Jebediah and his men and caged up to soon be sold to Jebediah's friend ... and not only is that quite a bit inhumane and archaic, it might also threaten the future of humankind, as Doc Emerson figures the zombie-antiserum must be locked somewhere in Emma's DNA, her being the only (or maybe one of the few) women not being affected by the zombie plague. So the wheelchair bound doctor sends out his caretaker (Kevin C. Beardsley again) along with Skinny to save her, and they are soon helped by Leo (Anthony Della Catena).

But once Emma's freed, she has to come to terms with the fact that nothing's like before anymore, especially at "The Shambles", which has been overrun by zombies with her turned father spearheading the attack, and Jebediah isn't one to let his prey go all that easily, either ...

 

A nice little zombie webseries that for a change does not focus on ever more grotesque effects (in fact the undead and their excesses are kept out of the picture for most of the series in a rather inventive and likeable way) but on a story that - weirdly but pleasantly enoght - shows quite a few parallels to The Wizard of Oz and allows for character development as well as gradually developing its universe rather than just throwing the audience into another "run! Zombie" scenario.

That all said, Dead Kansas is by no means your perfect little webseries: Basically, its lack of budget, while buttered over quite beautifully most of the times, sometimes shows a bit too clearly to totally convince and not all the acting is really up there - but in all, the thing's really well-written and adequately executed and really makes you wish for more (and hey, the ending is open enough ...).
