A beautiful young stem-cell researcher, Elizabeth Barnes, joins a secret research group attempting to develop a stem-cell based universal healing serum. Despite opposition from the project leaders, she quickly develops a serum that can bring the dead back to life - but with horrific results. When one of the project’s security guards is murdered and then re-animated, Barnes and her team must contend with a man who at first is like a child but quickly becomes something much, much more.
