As thousands of anti-war protesters converge on Washington D.C. in the Spring of 1968, the violence and turbulence of the time is about to explode into an unprecedented orgy of murder never before seen on American soil. Although the media conveniently explained the tales of the dead rising to kill the living as the work of militants and anti-Vietnam War radicals, something insidious is indeed lurking in the shadows of the Nation's capitol, and their grip on the country is about to make itself known. But with their troop numbers spread impossibly thin from both war-time service and riot control, the National Guard know that one misstep in dealing with the protesters could set off a fatal firestorm of violence during this most emotional time... And they will be woefully unprepared to defend the city from the flesh-hungry army of the undead about to descend upon them all.
