In Pine Falls, a secluded and usually peaceful town, multiple acts of dismemberment and cannibalism have been reported. Nate, an unemployed teenager, is too caught up in his own world to notice or even care. For Nate, a terrible tragedy is when he can't find the time to hang out with his best friend Steve. Steve is a wise cracking, quick thinking, loyal friend- at least that's how Nate sees it. The reality is that Steve is a Zombie; a living corpse, contaminated by an infection that raises the dead, giving them an unquenchable desire to feed on human flesh. Despite his gruesome appearance and lack of social skills, the people of Pine Falls consider Steve to be nothing more than Nate's handsome friend, until it's too late. With Nate's naivety and Steve's lust for blood, the pair consistently find themselves caught up in awkward and threatening situations. In times of distress (at least once per episode), Nate turns to Steve, and Steve solves problems the only way his undead brain will allow... By tearing it to pieces in a cannibalistic feeding frenzy. As Steve spreads the Zombie virus throughout the town, Nate is driven to more and more desperate measures to find money for himself and Steve. As the pair are thrust deeper and deeper into bankruptcy, Nate finds himself too pre-occupied with his and Steve's financial woes (and eventual homelessness) to notice the spreading infection in Pine Falls and society around him plunging into chaos.
