In the near future, Trophy Fantasy is a teenage mother who left her baby daughter Euthanasia "Annie" Fantasy in the custody of her undertaker mother Baba and her half-brother Pete at their funeral home Tender Endings in Fort Gator, Florida. Following a devastating divorce from her husband and death from an overdose 15 years later, Trophy's corpse is delivered to Euthanasia at Tender Endings as her written demand to those who found her dead. After a freak combination of circumstances that involved Baba's embalming fluid, Annie's tear, and lightning from a thunderstorm that was occurring during the embalming process, Trophy revives as a sentient zombie with paranormal abilities and the use of crotch beetles. Some episodes end with a post-credits stinger.
