The new owner of the old Darabont Estate in Protection, Kansas, has a problem. Hideous creatures live in the basement, the walls, and the shadows. So he calls on the town's Afghanistan war heroes, the Gates brothers, to help him rid the house of these tormentors so his family can live there in peace. The ensuing confrontation leads to the death of one of these monsters and sparks a war between the undead and the living, a conflict that will pit family values against family loyalties and determine the fate of everyone in this small town...monsters and humans alike.
