Synopsis:

In The Flesh is set in a small village in the North of England, post-zombie uprising, as rehabilitated zombies are reintroduced back into society. Now known as PDS Sufferers (Partially Deceased Syndrome), they have been caught, treated and, armed with their flesh cover-up and special contact lenses are returning to their friends and families who previously thought them dead. The series follows our hero, Kieren Walker, a 17 year old who committed suicide four years' ago when his best mate Rick died serving in Afghanistan. He's now returning to a village where he always felt like an outsider and a family who never got to say goodbye. We follow Kieren as he struggles to cope with fitting back in, with the guilt of what he did in his untreated state, and the sudden reappearance of Rick, a fellow PDS Sufferer. The boy that Kieren thought was dead is alive and the boy Rick thought was alive is dead.
