A brilliant, secretive medical student arrives on campus with a glowing reagent that can bring the dead back to life. When Herbert West convinces fellow student Dan Cain to help him test the serum on human corpses, their late-night experiments turn the morgue into a scene of escalating chaos. The results are not clean resurrections but violent, unstable returns, and each trial pushes them further past any ethical line. At the same time, Dr. Carl Hill sets his sights on both the discovery and Dan’s fiancée, turning a reckless experiment into a vicious rivalry. Jeffrey Combs and Bruce Abbott are at the center of a story where scientific ambition keeps creating worse problems than it solves.
