- A family is detained, and a young girl's distressing symptoms quickly escalate without her medication. Then, when the dead rise from their graves, townspeople take justice into their own hands.
- A young girl and her mother must cross the border to access life-saving medication. But when they get detained and can't access her medicine, the symptoms are much more distressing than the guards originally thought they'd be. When the dead rise from their graves, it's every man for himself - and the local townsfolk have some justice that they'd like to serve.
- "Drug Traffic"
Congressman Evan Miller is on the U.S. Canadian border doing an ad about health care and how people cross the border to get medication. Janitor Beau is working at an immigration center on the border watching the ad on TV, and a bus pulls up out front. Miller and his camera crew get out along with the mother and daughter from the ad, Mai and her mother, Mai clutches at her stomach in pain, and looks at a nearby boy. Mai's mother gives her daughter some pills to settle her stomach,
Miller and his entourage go into the center, and Miller thanks Beau for accommodating them. Beau notices that Mai still looks ill, and Miller walks everyone through the procedure to go through. When Miller tries to strike up a conversation with Beau, who dismisses him as not being a "real" leftist.
Mai's mother keeps giving her pills, and Beau asks the mother to step out of the line and hand over the medication she's giving Mai. Mai throws up more pills, and Beau tells her to go through the passport check while he talks to her mother. Beau checks the mother's handbag, while the mother keeps watching Mai. The agent finds boxes of medication and tells the mother she can't bring that much medication across the border, and that some of them are illegal in the U.S. Beau directs everyone to the waiting area, and Miller has his camera crew film the entire thing.
Mai goes into the waiting room with the others, while Beau takes the mother to another room. When Mai tries to bite Miller's wife's neck, Miller notices and stops Mai. Mai stumbles out and finds a vending machine, but it doesn't work and she can't get anything to eat. She stumbles out and finds Beau's stash of beer in a refrigerator but no food, and moans in hunger.
Miller leaves with his camera woman.
A boy among the immigrants goes out,
Beau checks the mother's papers and expresses his sympathies, while Miller and his camera woman capture the entire things on film. Beau points out the camera and says he has to do his job, and the mother says that she has to leave no and get her daughter her medication. Miller knocks on the door and asks Beau if he's holding the woman against her will, and Beau goes to talk to the congressman.
The boy finds Mai's corpse, its head missing. The head floats up on its own, bares its teeth, and attacks the boy.
Beau talks to Miller in the hallway, and he makes sure the camera woman films him as he complains about the mother's rights being abused.
A security guard goes out in the hallway, and Mai attacks him and bites his neck.
Miller demands that Beau release the mother, and the mother pounds on the observation window and yells for Mai. Miller insists that Beau is doing racial profiling, and Beau goes into the room and handcuffs her to the table. She insists that she's not a drug smuggler, and once Miller asks what kind of Asian she is, and Beau starts to release the mother. The head floats in and bites Miller's arm, and then flies out so quickly that no one sees her. The mother grabs Beau's gun and trains it on him, while Miller and the camera woman run out.
Mai floats into the holding room and attacks everyone there.
The mother demands the key to the handcuffs, while Mai attacks the camera woman while Miller runs out. The mother shoots at the head, and says that Mai needs her medication. Beau runs out and gets a fire ax from a case, and finds Miller in the waiting room looking at the carnage. The agent gives Miller the ax and tells him to pull himself together, and Mai peers at them from behind a couch and then floats up and snarls at them. Beau shoots at without effect, and it floats out.
Beau and Miller go after Mai and come back to the interrogation room, and the mother shoots at Beau. The agent tries to get through to the mother, and Miller calls Beau over to where he's found Mai's body. Meanwhile, the head floats into the interrogation room. Miller chops up the body with the ax, and Mai screeches and the mother, realizing what's happening, yells at Miller to stop. Beau takes the ax and hacks at the body, and the head falls to the floor.
When Mai stops screeching, Beau figures that it's dead and offers Miller one of his beers. Miller figures there's a lesson to be learned about putting their political differences aside to fight a common enemy, while Beau figures that if Mai had proper access to medication, she wouldn't have killed anyone.
The mother cuts her head off with a piece of glass from the observation window, and her head rolls over to Mai's'. Mai's head floats onto her mother's body and unites with it, bites the handcuffed wrist off, and then walks out and goes to the bus where the Creep is waiting to drive Mai into America.

"A Dead Girl Named Sue"
In 1968, Police Chief Evan Foster loads his revolver while listening to a radio news broadcast about an outbreak of reanimated corpses. Cars pull up outside, and Evan and his deputy go out to greet the newcomers. They are armed townspeople, and say that they're heading out to the Ridgeway House for Cliven Ridgway. Evan tells them that it's best that they stay inside and wait for the National Guard to come,, but they figure the military won't arrive until it's too late and ask Evan to join them. Evan refuses and tells them to go home, but they figure Cliven will keep terrorizing the town as long as his father is in charge. Despite that, Evan insists they don't do vigilante justice in the town and tells them to go. They say there's no law anymore and go.
Evan goes after them, figuring they're heading for the Ridgeway house, and gets a report from his deputy that Cliven is parked outside the old wire factory. Driving there, Evan goes inside and hears someone moving around, draws his gun, and checks it out. He finds a corpse of an old woman lying on the floor in an office, bite marks on it.
Cliven moves in the next room, and Evan confronts him. Cliven says that the woman came after him, and says that it isn't Evan's town but his daddy's town, and Evan is nothing but his father the mayor's "guard dog". Evan says that he's tempted to leave Cleven to the vigilantes, but that isn't his way. He tells Cliven to drop the rifle he's holding, and moaning ghouls walk by the papered-over window. Cliven goes to the window and peers out, and Evan notices blood-stained chains and scraps of clothing on the floor. The younger man says that he brings his dogs out there for training, but Evan doesn't believe him and puts Cliven under arrest for killing the old woman, Edda.
Evan dries Cliven to the station, and Cliven reminds him that his family bought the car. Ignoring Cliven, Evan calls one of the vigilantes, Carl Jenson, on the radio and tells him that he has Cliven with him. The sheriff says that he's heading back to the station and wants Carl and another vigilante, Jeremy, to meet him there. Once Carl signs off, Cliven says that he knows his rights and tells Evan to release him. Evan ignores Cliven, who mocks him.
Evan pulls up to the station, gets out, and tells the waiting men to pick up something. They readily agree and they go to tell the others. Evan goes back to his car and drags Cliven out and into the station, and throws him into a cell. The sheriff points out that the only forensic tech they have suddenly went on an European vacation, and figures that Cliven's father the mayor paid the tech's way. Leaving, Evan sarcastically tells Cliven that he's probably in the safest place in town... for now,
Later, the townspeople and their daughter that Cliven has terrorized come to Cliven's cell, and stare at him. Evan comes in and says that they're "interested parties", and Cliven figures that Evan is going to shoot him dead. The sheriff says that he'll do no such thing and points out that Cliven got off on everything he's been accused of. He asks Cliven if he has anything he wants to confess to them, and Cliven curses them.
Carl comes in, and Evan tells Cliven that a woman he killed, Sue Donovan, was sent to the county morgue but they're backed up on cases. Sue's body is still sitting in the morgue, and they never took her brain out because there was no autopsy. Carl and the others bring Sue's writhing body in and put in Cliven's cell, and Evan shows Carl the remnant of a scrunchy at the wire factory, the same as in Sue's hair. Sue remembers Cliven taking her to the wire factory and killing her, crawls over to him, and rips into his leg while the towns people impassively look on. She rips out Cliven's throat.
Evan leads the vigilantes out and says that they should find the mayor because there are no more rules.
