One man's search for an ancient secret...and the dead will rise
from their graves!
Chartres, France, in 1956.
Gabriella (Veronica Moriconi), a girl with apparent psychic powers, is brought to the enormous house of Dr.
Meyer (Cesare Barbetti), who intends to conduct an experiment testing her
abilities. He takes her down into his basement, where the youngster abruptly
falls to her knees and begins digging into the dirt. "This is where you're
hiding, isn't it?" Meyer yells. He rushes upstairs for help from his assistants
and leaves Gabriella by herself. She is attacked by something unseen and is
taken to the hospital. In the basement, further digging reveals a rotted corpse,
with a nearby wallet identifying the dead man as Paolo Zeder. Dr. Meyer realizes
that the earth in which Zeder was buried was a 'K-Zone'.
In present day Bologna, Stefano
(Gabriele Lavia), a novelist, is given an old typewriter as a birthday present
by his wife Alessandra (Anne Canovas). One night, after Alessandra has gone to
bed, he discovers a series of typed letters on the typewriter's ribbon. As he
reads the ribbon, he finds it is an essay written by scientist Paolo Zeder
discussing the existence of K-Zones—areas where death ceases to exist. According
to Zeder's essay, bodies buried in these zones can return from the dead.
Stefano investigates the message left on the typewriter ribbon. He encounters
people who make it clear that they do not appreciate any questions relating to
Paolo Zeder or K-Zones. However, the resistance he experiences intrigues him
even more. He becomes obsessed with getting answers to the mystery and
temporarily abandons his wife. His investigation leads him to a huge old
property, ostensibly abandoned but protected by electrified fences. A nearby
service station attendant tells Stefano that French investors are building a
gigantic hotel on the property, but no work is ever seen being done.
Stefano sneaks onto the property, and discovers surveillance equipment with
numerous monitors showing the dead face of a man buried in a coffin. Stefano
watches the monitors. The dead man is Don Luigi Costa, an ex-priest who
abandoned his vows after contracting an incurable disease. Continuing Zeder's
work, Costa had himself buried on the property, a suspected K-Zone, and his
rebirth from the dead is caught on camera. Stefano manages to elude the
conspirators involved in the experimental work, but finds his wife has been
murdered by them. At night, Stefano buries her in a K-Zone located on the
abandoned property. She revives and approaches her husband. In the darkness,
Stefano begins screaming horribly.
