In a post-apocalyptic world, society has collapsed, and individual survivors are fighting for their existence against viruses, nightly acid rain, and hordes of cannibals. Gravediggers Lars and Donald spend nights haunted by acid rain in their high-tech base of the past world, and when the rains stop during the day, they dispose of the bodies of the contaminated, doing a long day's work. When Lars loses his co-worker to a gang of cannibals lurking in the woods, he ends up teaming up with other survivors to get help burying the infected bodies and to be ready for the inevitable future confrontation with the cannibals.
