A sleepy country town is jolted awake one night when six officially dead people suddenly and inexplicably crawl out of their graves alive and very well. For local cop James Hayes, it's a professional nightmare and a personal crisis when he recognizes one of the newly arisen as his wife, Kate, who died of breast cancer two years ago. How did this happen? Why in this quiet town? This is a show where the characters' journeys are to find who and what they are. They attempt to rebuild and eventually fight (again!) for their lives, as the core mystery of the series expands and deepens.
