A United States Army experiment to reanimate the dead is shut down when the reanimated corpses are unable to control their hunger for human flesh. 30 years on, the project is re-opened but once again the experiments fail and this time the reanimated corpses escape, and rampage through the nearby town, devouring it's inhabitants in a bloodthirsty quest for human flesh. A group of high school students take it upon themselves to fight back as they attempt to reach the morgue to find a life saving serum and in turn rid the town once and for all of these undead flesh eating killers.
