James Stockton is a scientist working in a remote government facility focusing on human reanimation. Disgusted with the direction the work has taken, he leaves, only to be coaxed back seconds before his vacation by a phone call and his moral obligation to his patient. As he enters the facility, family in tow, little does he suspect his own creation has escaped, and things inside have taken a horrifying turn for the worse.
