🔥 Plot Summary

In the war-torn lands of ancient Aotearoa (New Zealand), the dead do not rest. When a sacred burial ground is disturbed, a cursed army of revenants rises, seeking vengeance upon the living.

Waka Nuku Rau (Te Kohe Tuhaka), a disgraced warrior haunted by his past, is tasked with protecting Aria (Milly Alcock)—the last descendant of a powerful chieftain—before the Cursed Warriors claim her bloodline.

With Chief Te Rangi (Cliff Curtis) leading a desperate resistance and an undead warlord (Manu Bennett) growing stronger with each soul he claims, Waka must battle both the living and the dead to uncover the ancient secret that binds the spirits to the land.

But some spirits should never be awakened…
