Plot
Detective Terry Lane has little to go on to unravel an unusual mystery: a blue grey glove and a Haitian pharmacy bill for a strange drug. As some of the city's most respected citizens inexplicably die from what appears to be zombie attacks, Lane finds himself to be a recipient of death threats.

To complicate matters, a nightclub singer claims to have information that could help Lane solve the case. Lane becomes suspicious of her motives but acts on her tip against his better judgement. His initial intuition proves to be correct, but he finds himself sealed in a coffin en route to the next murder - his own.
