Plot

Resuscitated through the same means as his adversaries, Mortis attempts to track down his killer in the short time he has before his body crumbles to dust, although he now has the advantage of being near invulnerable to physical harm - an advantage not shared by his reluctant partner.

Mortis and Bigelo uncover a scheme where the lab tricks dying rich people into signing over half their life savings in return for the promise for eternal life, not telling them that the reanimation is only temporary.

In the end the villains kill and reanimate Bigelo as a mindless zombie to destroy Mortis, but Mortis is able to get through to his partner and together they go after McNab, the head of the reanimation scam. To evade capture McNab kills himself, but Mortis and Bigelow reanimate him just to kill him again and destroy the machine with McNab inside it.
