As Sheila and Joel navigate their relationship, they are also confronted with a new challenge: a mysterious group known as "The Cult of Sheila" has appeared in Santa Clarita and is causing chaos all over town. The cult seems to worship Sheila and her undead state, and they believe that all humans should be transformed into zombies in order to achieve a higher level of existence.
