La mort, un point que tout médecin rêve d'élucider afin de mieux préparer les personnes à ce moment. Malgré les dangers que cela implique, un groupe d'étudiants en médecine va tenter d'élucider ce mystère en se provoquant volontairement des courts arrêts cardiaques. Ces derniers vont alors les plonger dans l’expérience d'une mort imminente, et la répétition de ce processus va alors les obliger à faire face à des choses auxquelles ils ne s'attendaient pas en se lançant dans cette folle expérience. Ombres, passé sombre ou bien encore phénomènes paranormaux seront au rendez-vous.

The film begins immediately where Species II left off. Hours after the events of the previous film, the medical van transporting the lifeless Eve has lost its way, but when the co-driver tries to radio their superiors, the driver stops and holds him at gun-point. Both are surprised by the alien child (now called "half-breed") appearing in the back window and killing the co-driver with his tongue. In the back the driver finds the half-breed and a reviving Eve, who goes into labor and gives birth to a new-born alien. While the half-breed strangles Eve with his tongue, the driver wraps the new-born in his jacket and runs off through the forest as a military helicopter finds the deserted van. Government agent Wasach orders an autopsy and afterwards the burning of Eve's body.
