iZombie

A medical student who becomes a zombie finds herself in a peculiar and challenging situation. To regain some semblance of her former life and maintain her humanity, she joins the Coroner's Office. This decision is driven by her need for access to the brains she must consume in order to survive, which leads her into a world she had not previously considered.

The process of inheriting the memories and personalities of the individuals whose brains she consumes adds a complex layer to her existence. Every time she eats a brain, she temporarily gains the memories, experiences, and even secrets of the deceased. This unusual inheritance provides valuable insights but also forces her to confront the lives and deaths of unfamiliar people, complicating her moral and emotional landscape.

Her role in the Coroner's Office becomes a critical element in solving various deaths within the community. With each new case, her inherited memories offer clues that aid in uncovering the circumstances surrounding a person's death. This method of investigation becomes an integral part of her attempt to stay connected to her humanity while navigating her new undead life.

To effectively solve these cases, she collaborates closely with the Medical Examiner, who provides expertise in pathology and forensics. Together, they analyze evidence and piece together witness testimonies, working to bring closure to families and justice to perpetrators. Their partnership highlights the importance of combining medical knowledge with investigative skills in solving crimes.

A police detective also assists in the process, bringing law enforcement experience into the mix. His perspective and investigative methods complement the medical approach, creating a well-rounded team dedicated to solving complex cases. The relationship between the characters explores themes of trust, morality, and the struggle to maintain one's humanity amidst extraordinary circumstances. This combination of elements makes the story both engaging and thought-provoking, blending crime investigation with supernatural elements.
