Plot

In the mildly dystopic 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 the fictional town of Fort Gator, Florida. After getting a devastating divorce from her current husband and dying from an overdose 15 years later, Trophy's corpse is delivered to Baba at Tender Endings as her written demand to those who found her dead. An unexpected combination of Baba's embalming fluid, Annie's tears, and a lightning bolt from a thunderstorm revives Trophy as a sentient zombie with supernatural abilities that involves housing a swarm of sentient beetles in her crotch.

Each episode ends with a post-credits stinger.
