A woman's fianc played by Marcus Collins is killed by a drug dealing gang. For revenge, the woman conjures up a zombie to hunt down the gangmembers and kill them.
Production
Tucker and McCorkle first began working on the film shortly after meeting at an investment banking firm. The two decided to create their own low-budget film using Hi-8 and Mini DV video cameras, filming in public housing projects and performing editing on a personal computer. McCorkle also taught himself rudimentary special effects techniques for the film, stating that "Just because we're low-budget doesn't mean it can't be realisticat least movie-realistic." Apart from being the writer, director, and make-up artist, McCorkle also served as the grip and caterer.
