| A crack team of LAPD detectives are hot on the trail of a gang of thieves who are perplexingly impervious to bullets. Astoundingly, they discover that these fearless criminals are actually already dead, but have been resurrected for 12 hours at a time, at the sinister laboratories of Dante Pharmaceutical. When Detective Morris is murdered, his distraught partner puts him on the resurrection table giving the team just 12 hours to bring Pharmaceutical's conspiracy to a dead end. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
