Resurrected
The film takes place in Sunset Valley during a sudden undead uprising. As the town falls into chaos, most residents go into hiding.

Devastated by the loss of her boyfriend Chad — who died just two months prior in a car accident — Brittany gears up with her father’s tools and sets out to the town cemetery. Convinced that Chad might have been among the reanimated dead, her mission is not survival, but reunion.
