Two escaped convicts, a couple of attractive lost hikers, a televangelist with car trouble and his pretty, young assistant, all stumble into a deserted fishing lodge, miles from civilization. Every single window is boarded up, and there's no sign of the fishermen who own it. The convicts capture the others at gunpoint but are soon forced to put aside their differences and work together when they discover that the missing fishermen have been murdered and decapitated or turned into zombie-like brain-eaters by an alien goo, accidentally brought to earth within a falling meteorite. As the zombies outside assault the lodge, the people inside realize that with no way out, the shelter they sought earlier may now become their final resting place.
