After a newlywed unfortunately turns into a zombie and attacks her husband on their honeymoon, The Middleman and Wendy are called in to stop the spread of the disease before there is a nationwide zombie outbreak. After several cries for trout, they soon learn they are hunting not your typical undead creatures, but rather trout-eating zombies that have some interesting ties to a new energy drink. Can The Middleman and Wendy put a stop to the energy drink's distribution to a caffeine-craving public in time to halt the zombie infestation?

Meanwhile, Lacey and Noser feel abandoned by Wendy after she ditches out on helping set up for their annual Art Crawl exhibition.
