Story
Mike Tyler
A former Navy Seal.
He was having lunch in a motorway fast food
when an out-of-control car carrying Nick and Barbara
smashed into the window.
Despite the crash, on the hood a corpse stood up
and started walking.

Nick Horn
A retired truck driver.
He was attending the funeral of a far relative of his
with niece Barbara.
At the cemetery a man, apparently out of his mind,
attacked and drawing them to run off by car.
Barbara Miller
 Biochemist doctor at Benson Medical Research Center, LA.
She was attacked with her uncle Nick by an insane man
covered with blood while attending her cousin’s funeral.
The crazy man’s wildness forced them to run off by car.
While running away, they ran over an injured man who was wandering along the motorway.
Dan Howlson
 Software Engineer.
Leaving his lunch at a fast food table, he went to rescue
the passengers of a car that ran out of control
and smashed into the window.
Helped by Mike, he noticed with horror the corpse
of the run over man jumping first,
then getting up and screaming.
LAPD Agent Madigan
 While on duty on the motorway, he started chasing a car
which had just run over a man without stopping.
As he reached the fast food he saw the accident victim
attack a senior customer.

 

The homicidal fury of the insane man makes Madigan use his ordinance gun.
The old man is not the only one who has been injured
and four people covered with blood and apparently dead lay on the floor.

Mike, Nick, Barbara, Dan and agent Madigan resolve on going to the Police Station.
At that moment, the four corpses get up.
Barbara screams with horror, Madigan’s gun shoots again.

The party gets quickly into a van and heads towards the hills.
Up there, a house stands isolated.

Night is coming...
