The South Will Rise Again

A Film by Travis Nicholson and Blake McClure

Synopsis:

Randy and Shane were the greatest competitive karate team Cheatham county had ever seen. Trained by their Sensei, Master Donny, they were nearly undefeated until Shane started hanging out with a bad crowd and dealing crystal meth. Randy stayed straight however and it looked like he might just make something of himself, that is until more trouble started brewing in town.

A fella by the name of Bubba started hitting on Randy's girl, Christie, and talking trash about karate and his brother Shane. Randy wouldn't stand for it and decided to kick Bubba's ass in front of all his buddies. Bubba wasn't about to be made a fool, so in return he set out to find Shane's meth lab busting them for good. This was sure to dishonor the family.

Christie wasn't a fan of fighting and it seemed to her that Randy was more upset about the karate comments than the one's Bubba made about her jeans. Master Donny wasn't too proud either and he told him so.

Looks like this karate man's luck had just about run out. Everyone around was disappointed in him.

Meanwhile, back at the meth lab, one of Shane's pals was experimenting with the latest batch. Needless to say, it didn't work out too well and caused quite an explosion! When Shane and company returned they found a crater where the lab used to be and a half-charred, all-dead body. So they did what they had to do and buried him in the backyard, pretending that nothing had ever happened.

Well, their friend wasn't dead after all, or at least not for long. You see, that explosion had a peculiar effect on the boy... It turned him into a dang ZOMBIE!!!

As we all know, zombies bite people and then those people turn into zombies who then go on to bite more people. It's a chain reaction. And it didn't take long for the whole town to turn into zombies. Things were not looking good.

How do you stop zombies? You have to get rid of their brain. What's a good way to do that? Samurai swords? Sure. You see where this is going. Will Randy get the girl back? Can the brothers join together once more and bury the hatchet while saving their hometown from the walking dead?

On second thought, they might just need that hatchet.

And this is the story of how karate saved Cheatham county.
