Zombie Powder has a futuristic-western setting, similar to that of Trigun. The story begins in 716 A.E. The signs on buildings are in English, but some characters speak Spanish phrases.
Most characters in the manga are "Powder Hunters" searching for a legendary drug called "Zombie Powder". It can make the dead come back to life and make the living immortal, much like the philosopher's stone. However, to obtain the zombie powder one needs to collect the twelve Rings of the Dead. The Rings of the Dead use life energy from humans to create the Zombie Powder. A Ring eats a human, making the human fall into a coma. The person will be in that state until he or she dies. Due to the manga ending abruptly, what the Zombie Powder looks like remains unknown.

That's the coup de poudre from The serpent and the rainbow, the yellow powder used to make zombies in Haiti. But in Haiti they use fugu, the "balloon fish".
