An alcoholic bounty hunter is hired by a business mogul to rescue his unruly daughter, who?s missing in a zombie-ravaged New York City.

Pretty clear and concise. I only have two questions:

1. Why is the alcoholic bounty hunter chosen for the job? (Surely there's a more reliable option for the business mogul to save his daughter? Even just a non-alcoholic bounty hunter?)

2. What makes this different from a zillion other films I've seen like it? (Escape from New York/LA, Monsters come to mind instantly). What's the hook that would make me want to fund this film?

The daughter is going to be in her twenties.

I want this story takes place a month into the outbreak. Large cities are being overrun by zombies, but people living in rural secluded areas can still live relatively normal lives. The people living in rural areas still have to deal with the zombies and people taking advantage of the situation both good and bad.
