If a soul touches a dead body it causes an antimatter explosion, so for all the above reasons everyone lives in underground bunkers. Some people get DOOMS syndrome which gives you death-related superpowers. Porters like Norman Reedus travel between settlements to deliver things, and user babies inside of pods to help detect the presence of disembodied souls in the environment. It turns out Hillary Clinton is both Norman Reedus' Mom AND his childhood friend love interest, and in the end he stops her from destroying humanity, also stops his pod baby from getting aborted and raises her as his kid.
