La Rochelle is a town in the Deep South where superstitions, ancient myths, and legends are true. For generations, The Hastings Family have owned the only funeral home and graveyard in La Rochelle. In addition to providing services for all faiths, the "family specialty" is handling "afterlife care" for the unexplained deaths of folks at the hands of demonic "Infernals," and other unworldly phenomenon that have long haunted the town.

This show is set three years after the zombie virus has gutted the country, and a team of everyday heroes must transport the only known survivor of the plague from New York to California, where the last functioning viral lab waits for his blood. Although the antibodies he carries are the world's last, best hope for a vaccine, he hides a dark secret that threatens them all. With humankind's survival at stake, the ragtag band embarks on a journey of survival across three thousand miles of rusted-out post-apocalyptic America.
