In the future, graveyards of humans are kept in massive cryostasis chambers. Each of a thousand cryo-pods holds the frozen dead and diseased waiting for the day when life can be given back. In this first installment of STASIS thawing begins with pod 611-383. A deceased woman is brought back to life in a grotesque world, alive and unnatural. In the process of her strange resurrection, haunting machines scan her brain, and remove a fetus from her womb. All hopes and dreams of a new life are erased, as she is absorbed into this surreal nightmare of STASIS.
