Plot Summary
In a post-war society where a zombie invasion has been narrowly averted, humanity is left scrambling to cope with the remaining zombie "demographic" that now forms a part of daily life. When a grasping-at-straws advertising campaign for "Brains Cola" turns into a runaway success, zombies become the new target for all manner of brain-themed products, as companies rush to capitalize on their untapped buying power.
Eric is an apathetic video store clerk trafficking in black market classic horror movies, Ashley is a frustrated life insurance agent deluged with undead policy holders, Sam and Bridget are freelance zombie hunters desperate for a gig, and Bruce is an irritatingly cheerful previously-deceased-rights activist. All five characters struggle to find their place in this strange new world, and collectively uncover a sinister plot by a multinational corporation looking to plunge the world into another zombie-human war, regardless of the cost.
