A Gothic revenge tale where a patriarch's fear of premature burial becomes literal horror as he returns from the dead to punish his greedy family.

The wealthy patriarch of the Sinclair family lives in mortal fear of being buried alive due to a rare condition that causes him to sometimes appear lifeless. After his death, relatives learn that his will stipulates a strict series of orders that must be followed in order to receive their inheritance. The family refuses to comply and the patriarch returns from the grave to exact revenge by killing each of them in the way they fear most.
