The movie plays during "Dia De Los Muertos" (the Mexican Day of the Dead), when the dead return to walk the Earth to see their loved ones once more.
When a couple of young college kids unintentionally interfere with a small town’s ritual sacrifice, they get into more than they bargained for and must find a way to survive this Dia de los Muertos. In 1892, Vargas Diaz, a murderous greedy villain, looted an Aztec tomb belonging to the goddess of death located in the town of Santa Bonita, Mexico.
The many that died at Diaz’s hands cannot rest and continually demand human sacrifices. Today the town of Santa Bonita is a ghost town, and those who stumble upon the village never leave. A young couple, Joss and Alicia, are unfortunate enough to get stranded there and discover the town’s secret history. The only way to save themselves and let the dead rest lies with Diaz himself, but there’s no earthly way he could still be living today…
