In 1983 the city of New Hexington was destroyed after a chemical spill caused the dead to come back to life. By 1987 the whole of america had fallen to the T.O.X.I.N. virus. Welcome to 1991. The long awaited follow up to Dead Pixels comes straight to home video later this year with all the new features you could ever want.
