A young medical resident named Liv Moore is turned into a zombie following a boat party that goes horribly wrong, and must consume human brains to maintain her humanity. She takes a job at a morgue to gain access to the brains she needs, but discovers that eating them grants her flashes of the deceased's memories and personality traits. Teaming up with a detective, she uses these visions to help solve murders, whilst concealing her true condition from most of those around her.
