Following the events of both "Night of The Living Dead" and "Return of The Living Dead", "Rebirth of The Living Dead" picks up nearly 50 years later in Los Angeles where "Trioxin Trash" is the new drug on the street. This "ultimate high" turns users into brain-craving Living Dead and it's up to a lone Scientist and a young couple to uncover the cure before it's too late.
