But the new golden years come at a price and Benedict’s company ruthlessly protects a dark secret. nRgy is produced from the ghosts of the recently deceased and Benedict will stop at nothing to not only protect his company’s secrets, but increase his power supply - even if that means mass murder.
There are cracks in his empire, though, and the dead cannot be controlled forever. Now ingrained in every aspect of society, from the cars on the highways to the cell phones in people’s pockets and the computers that control everything, the ghosts are presented with an opportunity they’d never had before nRgy - they can return to the land of the living. The ghostly revolution begins in Sin City, home of Benedict’s nRgy Corporation, as the dead forge metal and flesh into mechanical zombies, vessels of war to carry them in their conquest of the world of the living.
The onslaught of the dead is unstoppable as every man, woman, and child who fall are quickly folded into the machine, their flesh melded with machine to build even larger instruments of horror, their very souls the power source. Las Vegas quickly succumbs to the dead and five survivors--a truck driver locked in his own personal hell, a mother with a dark past, a guilt-ridden cop, a son on a quest against his father, and soldier brought back from another time--are left to try and stop the contagion before it spreads further into the land of the living.
