In a world where the dead have been resurrected, a grieving man risks everything to reunite with his late wife. As a "warm" - one of the living - he's forbidden from contacting the "cold" reanimated souls. But his love refuses to be extinguished. He tracks her to Zanzibar, where the rekindled dead have established their own isolated communities. In a desperate bid for connection, he'll challenge the rigid social order and face the chilling consequences of crossing that line.
