Synopsis/Details
A new sheriff, Daniel Stark, has arrived in town with his sister Ruby in tow, having moved across the country to get her away from her lover, dangerous outlaw Garrett Wolf - unknown to him, however, Garrett has followed them to reclaim his lover.
The timing of their arrival in town couldn't be worse, as the first victims are falling to a mysterious plague and the homicidal urges of the victims ensure the problem is spiralling out of control at a rapid rate.
Garrett reunites with Ruby but their plans to leave are thwarted when he is locked up for the murder of a local. Outside the town, a stalled wagon train is attacked by zombies, and the ensuing bloody massacre swells the army of the undead. As the terrifying cannibal horde reaches town, panic and damage from the brutal rampage of the ghouls starts a fire that begins to threaten the whole town. Ruby risks her life to free Garrett with reluctant help from Daniel, and the unlikely group takes refuge in the Gem saloon, which rapidly becomes mobbed by the hungry dead.
With the threat of the fire growing and the besieged saloon's barricades failing, Daniel and Garrett have one last desperate, possibly suicidal, plan left to try and draw the zombies off and destroy them - if they can work together and not kill each other before the zombies do…
