A nostalgic, suspenseful adventure that balances childhood wonder and friendship against creeping cosmic dread, anchored in 1970s Americana and the joy of filmmaking.

In late 1970s Ohio, a group of friends filming a homemade zombie movie witness a devastating train derailment. Soon after, their quiet town is gripped by unexplained disappearances, strange phenomena, and a growing sense of fear, as they uncover that something terrifying has been set loose.
