Tut-ankh-en-set-amun, a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy on display at a museum, is revived in the present day by a bolt of lightning. You'd think someone who's been dead for three millenniums would be a bit more humble after returning to life, but once an egotistical boy king, always an egotistical boy king. Now a confused blend of zombie pharaoh and Frankenstein's monster, this reanimated ruler adapts to his modern-day surroundings with the help of young friend Cleo and her talking cat, Luxor.

Milton, a college dropout, was only supposed to cook meth for one day. Broken out of rehab by a brash young woman and her trigger-happy ("ex") boyfriend and driven to a remote cabin the woods, Milton finds himself drawn into a dangerous love triangle gone haywire. The couple's deadpan half-truths spin around Milton like a song on repeat. They seem to read him like an open book, until a mysterious message opens his eyes to his cursed existence. With unlimited ammunition, any hunting tool they could desire, and an ever-growing body count, for what did Milton really sign up?
