Frankie McCready talks to dead people. Not like a ghost whisperer or anything-- but it seems rude to embalm them and not at least say hello. Fortunately, at the McCready Family Funeral Home & Bait Shop-- and as Lake Sackett's embalmer and county coroner-- Frankie's goth styling and passion for nerd culture fit right in. She's fascinated by new sheriff Eric Linden, a recent transplant from Atlanta, who sees a homicide in every hunting accident or boat crash. And what kind of cop can get a job with the Atlanta PD but can't stand to look at a dead body? When there's a series of break-in attempts at the funeral home, it really does seem like a job for the sheriff-- and Frankie and Eric get close to spilling some secrets they thought were buried forever.
