The residents of a small, sleepy town begin to notice strange phenomena, like polar nights and erratic animal behavior. The peace is shattered when the dead suddenly rise from their graves as zombies. The town's small police force leads a decidedly mundane and resigned response to the apocalyptic uprising, facing the undead with dry wit and confusion.
