Anthropologist Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) travels to Haiti to investigate rumors of a drug used by [[Black Magic]] practitioners: one allegedly capable of transforming the living into zombie slaves. He meets with Marielle Duchamp, a Haitian medical doctor who has been working closely with cases of zombification. One of her most recent cases is a man named Christophe, a fresh zombie with a better memory than usual. In their investigation, they meet with Louis Mozart, who, despite being something of a [[Con Man]], is willing to provide them with the mysterious zombie drug.

* [[Badass Boast]]: After purchasing a vial of zombie powder from Mozart, Dennis Alan loudly calls him an idiot, says "You want to know what I think of your powders?", pours the entire vial into a drink, then chugs the mixture. Before leaving, he hisses: "It's piss." {{spoiler|He actually used slight of hand to switch the real vial out for one of his own; ultimately, it was a move meant to psyche out Celine enough to give him the real powder}}.

* [[Buried Alive]]: This is part of the zombie-creation process.
