PlotIn a medical supply warehouse, a foreman proudly shows a new employee a secret military drum containing a preserved human corpse and a mysterious gas, which they accidentally release. The noxious fumes reanimate a cadaver stored in the warehouse, forcing the pair to seek help from their boss to contain the situation. Despite their efforts to destroy the reanimated corpse by cremating it, the resulting smoke blends with rain clouds, causing the chemical-infused rain to soak into the soil of a nearby cemetery.
As a group of punk friends party in the cemetery, the contaminated rain begins to fall, penetrating the ground and awakening the dead. Unaware of the chaos unfolding beneath them, the group is thrust into a nightmarish situation as the dead rise from their graves, hungry for human brains. The warehouse staff and the punks must now band together to survive the onslaught of the living dead craving for their flesh.
