While en route from Austria to marry Louis, Dauphin of France, the carriage of Archduchess Marie Antoinette is intercepted by bloodthirsty zombies. The sole survivor of the attack is Marie Antoinette's twin brother, Albert. He heads for Versailles in his sister's gown–and instead of continuing life as himself, decides to take his dead sister's place. Now at the heart of the French royal court, Albert must face the undead horrors as the man who someday would become Queen. However, members of the house are wondering if Albert is fit to rule, but more importantly, are suspecting he killed his own sister in jealousy.
