Tobe Hooper returns to his rightful place behind the camera to weave this gruesome tale concerning an abandoned small-town funeral home with a dark and deadly secret. Local legend has it that the Fowler Funeral Home in Santa Loraina, CA, is plagued with death of the most unnatural kind. Rumored to have been purchased to launch a ranching business by
Zeb Fowler, the land was subsequently converted into a funeral home when the cattle all began dying of a mysterious and undiagnosed ailment. When
Zeb and his wife gave birth to a hideously disfigured boy named
Bobby soon thereafter, the story took a strange turn as the pair attempted to shelter their son by covering his face with a burial shroud. After young
Bobby disappeared at the age of eight and his parents were found brutally murdered a decade later, rumors began to swirl around the community that
Bobby may still be alive. Now single mother
Leslie Doyle (
Denise Crosby) has moved into the long-abandoned and hideously decrepit home with aspirations of restoring it and taking on the role of town mortician for the town of Santa Loraina, and, along with her children,
Jonathon (
Dan Byrd) and
Jamie (
Stephanie Patton), she is about to discover that some legends never die.
