Plot

The episodes revolve around the Hastings family who owns and directs a funeral home and the cemetery in the sleepy town of La Rochelle, Georgia. The basement of the family home provides space for the city morgue as well where Tilly, the medical examiner, works. Having long been hunters of the supernatural, the Hastings and Tilly make sure that Infernals don't wreak havoc among the human populace.

Things start to unravel when Friday the 13th arrives, with the appearance of the Hastings' oldest son who left the family sixteen years ago. Supernatural forces begin descending upon the town, with Calvin and his family doing their best to protect everyone.
