mysterious form of radiation appears in outer space near Earth, just as
gangs of rampaging, bloodthirsty, flesh-eating zombies are spotted around
the country. Could the two circumstances possibly be related?
Somewhere on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, a brave and resourceful truck
driver comes to the aid of a beautiful young woman who is being pursued by
the murderous undead who have just killed and begun to devour her brother.
They find an isolated house on a country road where, together with a few
other desperate human souls, they are determined to make a stand against the
wave of the carnivorous Living Dead that threatens to engulf them. It’s live
humans vs. undead zombies. Who will prevail?
