A comedic buddy-cop action film that treats zombie resurrection as a high-concept premise for wisecracks and mayhem rather than existential dread.

Detective Roger Mortis is killed in action while investigating a string of mysterious robberies: until he's brought back from the dead with a chemical company's secret re-animation technology. Now he has twelve hours to solve the case of his own death before he dies: And stays dead.
