    Set in the late 1960s aboard the USS Scorpion, a group of sailors, Mike, Ken, and

    Joe, were breaking in the mess deck when the submarine suddenly collided with

    the corpse of an ancient beast in the depths of the ocean. Although the creature was

    dead, its spirit lingered, unleashing a final act of violence against the crew using

    the nuclear-tipped torpedoes that led to its demise. Disoriented and inebriated, the

    three men attempt to find out what has happened and they come to the shocking

    realization that the rest of their crew had been turned into zombies. In order to stop

    the spread of this mystery disease that has struck their crew, the three men decide

    to destroy the ship and go down with it.
