In a quiet French village, twenty years after World War II, the atmosphere is thin with unease as locals speak of a distant danger tied to a nearby lake, boldly nicknamed the lake of the damned. A group of young women decide to cool off with a swim at the lake, only to be overwhelmed by a rush of undead aggression; the attackers are zombie Nazi soldiers who drown their prey, led by Pierre-Marie Escourrou in the role of a German Soldier. The horror does not stay by the water. The undead rise from the lake and begin to stalk women within the town itself, spreading dread and panic as residents struggle to understand what they’re facing.
