A young couple drives in rural Texas for a trip to the lake. A sign ahead: Bubba's Chili Parlor. They decide to stop. Meanwhile, at the Parlor, a young girl waits for her mother. She is reading William Golding's 'Lord Of The Flies', and in a quiet moment explains the book's lesson to Bubba: that man is ultimately incapable of governing himself, and that the pig's head 'lords' over the boy's descent into anarchy. Unknown to Bubba, the chili he's about to serve her is infected with a mutated strain of Mad Cow Disease, created by the US Government. The young couple arrives. Chili is served. Anarchy begins, and the Zombie Lord, a regal, bloody, detached head, begins his reign from the Parlor parking lot. The zombie apocalypse begins.
