A mortician's skin treatment has done its job a little too well. Aunt Millie makes a miraculous recovery. The funeral turns out a little like weddings do when the bride has a change of mind, or gets one of those overwhelming cravings for a slider. Friends, relatives, the mortician and even the televangelist, Reverend Purswell, are left to sort out the leftovers.

Nobody knows what the mess is all about until confronted with the exponentially born again. As more of the recently deceased munch the town, the police will have one idea about how to confront the zombies and the Reverend Purswell another.
