A lethargic ghost named Shelton soon joins the quest against Chris's will, and the duo set off in search of the one man who may have the cure.

Where did the virus come from? Why isn't Chris a zombie? What will the group do when they discover the slow, plodding corpses are changing into something more deadly? Chris must now find a way to stop this horrific plague and save the group from certain death- before they tear themselves to pieces!
