Rechristened The Dead One for its cinematic incarnation, this adaptation of Javier Hernandez's comic book El Muerto stars Wilmer Valderrama (of television's That 70's Show) as Diego de la Muerte, a Mexican-American living in Los Angeles. While on his way to a Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration, Diego gets into an accident. Lying on the side of the road he has what he mistakes for some sort of hallucination, but in actuality Diego has died, and meets up in the netherworld with Mictlanehcuhtli, the Aztec God of the Death. After he awakes on the side of the road, Diego soon learns that while it is still Dia de Los Muertos, an entire year has passed since his accident, and that he has actually risen from the grave for reasons he can not yet comprehend. While our bewildered hero attempts to unravel the mystery of his new existence as one of the walking dead, an ancient evil looms on the horizon, bringing with it the threat of extinction to the entire human race. Can Diego save the day, or is he a pawn in the sinister ploy to rein death and destruction on mankind?
