Z Nation's post-apocalyptic world is crawling with the undead, and Murphy's (Keith Allen) antibodies are humanities only hope for a cure. Much to everyone's surprise, however, Murphy's time as a lab rat left him with a host of other abilities, from psychokinesis to the ability to create human/zombie hybrids.

Now that the criminal's secret is out, the westbound team won't be the only ones with a keen interest in utilizing him. They may, however, be the only ones whose plans involve saving the world.

Of the many survivors tracking Murphy, one will become a series regular. Played by Matt Cedeno, the untitled character will have major success tracking Garnett's (Tom Everett Scott) old crew, slinking along in the shadows behind them.
