Even the fellow cops of Joanne Walker are struck with the blue flu, which has caused most of them go into deep sleep. As the blue sleep continues to spread through the entire city, there is no evidence of any physical cause of it. Joanne thinks that it must be due to some magical power.

She thinks that all this is not bad for her as she was almost dead at the start of the year. But, on occasion of Halloween, her party gets crashed by the arrival of the undead. As she has still not been able to find her missing mentor Coyote, she is required to find out a way to break the spell from which the zombies, ghosts, as well as the Wild Hunt have returned. But for her bad luck, there is no shamanic book that can explain the methods to deal with the walking dead. Joanne Walker knows that if she steps out to stop them without any strategy, she will not be able to come back alive. As a result, she finds herself in an extremely difficult situation and hopes that she finds her Coyote as soon as possible.
