August, a young college student in Maine has just finished up his junior year in college.The town has begun to grow quiet as his fellow students have started to leave except for some townies and a few frat houses throwing one final party before everyone hits the road for home. Exhausted from a combination of work and spending a few hours with his roommates cleaning up the house, August decides to stay one more night in his college town before making the long drive. After hitting the sack, he is woken up several times throughout the night by the wild party next door and deciding he can't take it anymore, he pops a few sleeping pills that knock him cold only to have him awake into a world of the living dead.
