A town's biggest nightmare continues with a new terror. In a small town in upstate New York, a group of survivors has escaped one horror to find themselves facing another. Picking up where 'Threshold' left off, 'Awakening' finds the survivors once again fighting for their lives against familiar enemies as well as an unexpected addition. Margie Barnes fights to stay alive as a bite wound from the dead sustained in the woods takes her body through changes that have the local medical staff completely stumped. Meanwhile, the dead are, once again, coming back to life. In a race against time, the survivors begin work on a new weapon to battle the dead. This time they must stop the dead as well as Margie without joining the ranks of the dead.
