As the curtain rises over a bleak and desolate landscape, National Guard Sergeant “Nicotine” Crockett (Alan Van Sprang), along with his fellow soldiers Kenny, Francisco, and Tomboy, turns their back on their posts, embarking on a perilous journey of betrayal that diverges from the protagonists of a prior cinematic tale.

The patriarch of the O’Flynn family, Patrick (Kenneth Welsh), gathers a fervent group with the intent to eliminate the undead menace that plagues the island, only to learn that their arch-rival, Seamus Muldoon, is desperately protecting his reanimated kin, hoping against hope to find a cure for their condition.
