On the frozen, desolate planet of Odacer-Faustin, an ancient Sith academy is under siege. The evil, diabolical Darth Scabrous has been abducting students and using them in experiments to create an eternal life elixir. The black Murakami orchid is the elixir's missing ingredient. A bounty hunter, Tulkh, locates the orchid at the Marfa Facility and captures the Jedi Hestizo "So" Trace who can communicate with the flower. They travel to Odacer-Faustin where Darth Scabrous uses the orchid to reanimate the dead. A contagion quickly spreads throughout the Sith academy, transforming the students into ravenous zombies capable of intelligent, coordinated planning. Only So's Jedi brother, Rojo Trace, can rescue her.

From publicity material: Strange things are happening in a Sith academy, where the Dark Lord in charge has barricaded himself away, unexplained violence is on the rise, and the apprentices are growing more and more frightened. When a mercenary arrives with a delivery for the Sith Lord--and a hostage Jedi in tow--the situation reaches a boiling point. Only a Jedi Master, looking for the missing Jedi, can hope to get her--and himself--out alive.
