Revival

Summary

“Revival” is a rural noir supernatural mystery set in a small Wisconsin town where, for one inexplicable day, the dead return to life. Unlike traditional zombies, the revived—called Revivers—are fully conscious, though often changed in unsettling ways. The town is quarantined as law enforcement, families, and religious groups struggle to understand and contain the phenomenon. The story focuses on Dana Cypress, a local police officer, and her sister Martha, who is secretly one of the Revivers. Together they navigate the social, religious, and personal fallout of the event while darker conspiracies emerge. The series uses its supernatural premise to explore grief, faith, morality, and human desperation. Ordinary people must face extraordinary circumstances, balancing awe with fear as miracles and horrors coexist. “Revival” is both intimate and eerie, a slow-burn mystery where personal secrets are as dangerous as supernatural ones. Its Midwestern setting gives it a unique atmosphere, grounding cosmic questions in small-town dynamics.
