This is the tale of a sweet teenage girl named, TOFFEE (a Gidget-type) and her “rebel without a cause” boyfriend, JONNY. The two meet at Enrico Fermi High School and fall in love, but the principal, MISS DELILAH STRICT (Stalin in pumps and a dress!) intervenes, persuading the indecisive young Toffee to break up with Jonny. Tortured by the betrayal, Jonny drives his motorcycle to the nearby Francis Gary Powers Nuclear Power Plant and flings himself into a nuclear cooling tower!
Guilt ridden and alone, Toffee mourns the loss of her love, until one day when Jonny returns, risen from the dead - AS A TEENAGE NUCLEAR ZOMBIE! The mass of decomposing flesh professes his love and tells Toffee that he wants her back. He plans to clean up his act, finish school and take her to the senior prom - if she’ll have him. Toffee is racked with indecision, but worst of all Miss Strict refuses to allow “zombie scum” in her fine institution. She clearly states that “The satanic walking dead are strictly prohibited at Enrico Fermi High.” She even threatens to cancel the senior prom if anyone is caught supporting the “cadaver’s cause.”
At the same time, word of this conflict reaches EDDIE FLAGRANTE, a slick sensationalist TV show host, who loves a lost cause. Eddie arrives at the school with his film crew to cover the story and make a “cause celebre” out of Jonny - “This sounds like a clear-cut case of Zombie Civil Rights!” But once he arrives, we see that he and Miss Strict share a past, shrouded in an elusive mystery.
As crisis takes hold of the school, the following questions are raised - Will Toffee take Jonny back? Will Miss Strict let Jonny come back and finish school, or will she cancel Senior Prom, ruining the most important night in the lives of the students of Enrico Fermi High!?
