A scientist named Dr. Thorne who has been struggling to find a cure for death itself, tries his latest version on a bum to see what he needs to perfect his concoction. However, it kills the man in the process and he dumps the body in an alley. Unbeknownst to Thorne, he is resurrected but is technically brain dead. The victim then goes on a ravenous killing spree and nothing can stop him! An homage to 1930s horror (but made in present day).
