In the summer of 2008, a rogue comet entered Earth's orbit for 72 hours. During this time, a strange amber glow suffused the sky. But, something else happened. Something in the comet's tail had an adverse affect on dead tissue and the result was the reanimation of every dead animal carcass on the planet. A handful of survivors hole up in a diner in the backwoods of New Hampshire while the undead creatures of the night hunt for human prey. There's a new blue plate special at DJ's Diner and Truck Stop, and it's you!
