Summaries

There's something strange happening inside Buffalo Central Terminal. A group of urban explorers find more than they bargained for.

Five reckless college kids on an urban archaeological expedition uncover a preternatural evil, and discover only a legend can fight a myth. Almost a century ago, the Buffalo Central Terminal was cursed. Eighty years (and 922 missing persons) later, we find Ikari trying to follow in her (missing) father's archaeological footsteps. But Ikari--a part Chinese, part Japanese, half Jewish lesbian--has problems. She's suicidal, her girlfriend dumped her, she's failing her classes, she's about to lose her scholarship, her twin sister Feng is a samurai with supernatural abilities, and, on top of it all, she still lives with her Jewish mother (Maria Olsen). To keep Ikari and his other students from failing, Professor Harrison sends them on a quick "in and out" field expedition to the Terminal. Along for what should be a fast and fun exploration are Ikari's best friend and gay fashion photographer Michael, goth martial artist Tavy, mild-mannered T.A. Lindsey, and Ikari's recently estranged ex-girlfriend Becks. But Ikari has other ideas... obsessed with her father's research and trying desperately, if not comically, to get her blonde, beautiful, and cold ex-girlfriend back, she unknowingly leads the team deeper and deeper into the ominous 17-story building... and right into the lair of the Jiang Shi. Considered by Western Culture to be a myth, the zombie-like Jiang Shi is an undead demon that sucks Chi (the life force) from its victims while torturing, raping, and paralyzing them with its venomous claws. And now it is after them. Samurai-in-training Feng, psychically linked to her twin sister Ikari, races to the Terminal to save Ikari and her friends from the Jiang Shi and its endless horde of undead minions. To defeat the mythical creature Ikari and Feng will have to join forces to become a legend. Because it takes a Legend to fight a Myth.—samuraisam87

Synopsis

Cursed & Abandoned for many decades, The Buffalo Central Terminal is haunted by a mythological monster known as the JIANG SHI, a zombie vampire that sucks people's life force. Without much care to the "Fairy Tale" back story, a group of failing Archeology students must explore and document the building in order to obtain a passing grade. Lead by the fearless IKARI (TARA CARDINAL), they soon stepped into Hell's portal where these creatures originate and must fight their way out in order to survive! Once news broke out, Ikari's Twin sister FENG (TARA CARDINAL) rushes out in her tournament uniform in hopes of saving the group in time. Only a Legend can fight a Myth!
