It begins when a group of university students break into a restricted archive on campus during summer vacation in search of hidden treasure. Inside, they discover coffins containing the mummified bodies of two Italian noble girls. One of the students removes a mysterious gem from one of the mummies and takes it back to their dormitory.

The stone's removal causes the mummified girls, who are effectively immortal undead beings, to awaken after having been dormant for many years. They begin hunting down the students across the university campus in order to retrieve the stolen stone. As the students attempt to escape and survive, they search for a way to stop the undead girls while being pursued one by one.
