Prisoner KSC2-303 escapes with another inmate and flees to an average-looking forest where a rendezvous with a group of men who are supposed to aide in their escape goes awry. These men arrive with their own female hostage, but, before the group can agree on the best way to safety, one of the inmates is killed, and KSC2-303 runs with the girl into the woods. As luck would have it, these are no ordinary woods: in fact, they belong to the “Forest of Resurrection,” one of the 666 Portals on the Temporal Plane located on the planet Earth. Inside the forest, no one can die without facing re-invigoration as a gun-toting, sword-yielding zombie … except for our three nameless principles, all quasi-immortals, who can’t seem to avoid running into one another.
