Death Falcon Zero, a disgraced former masked wrestler is released from prison by the governor of West Virginia (WWE Hall of Fame member, Johnny Valiant) and promised a pardon if he can put an end to the problem of zombies plaguing Charleston's West Side. DFZ realizes the zombies are created by a new form of crystal meth, funded by Senator Joe E. Legend, himself a former wrestler, and his backers, wrestlers-gone-bad (Samu Anoa'i, Bobby Blaze, Sol de Oriente) drug dealers, yuppie elite, slum lords, and corrupt local officials. When it becomes apparent that Legend's plan is to "infect locally, plague globally," DFZ is forced to reunite his former tag team, the Grapes of Wrath, to assist him in bringing down the slug lords. The only other problems are Raw Talent is a destitute crack head; and Professor Danger, once believed dead, is being hidden by the witness protection program - and has no interest in being found. That and the fact that the three of them now hate one another.
