Loser Ed (William Cutting) has a lame job, a beater car, a crappy apartment he is about to lose and no hope of a girlfriend. Ed has no hopes or dreams for the future. He is okay with his loser life and his two loser friends, Pedro (Pete Mendoza) and Harry (Tom Nyman). Ed doesn’t think things could get any worse for him – until the day he woke up and found he had GONE ZOMBIE.
Ed doesn’t know anything about Zombies. While Ed spent most of his high school years chasing weed, a science guy discovered that years and years of exposure to fluoride in the water caused random people with certain genes to go Zombie. Ed missed the whole biological imperative verses lifestyle/being eaten or bitten by a zombie debate. Zombies came out into society but were shunned and treated as second class citizens. Zombies have to use separate drinking fountains and ride on the top of the bus. None of this meant much to Ed until the day he woke up, looked into the mirror and found he had GONE ZOMBIE. He doesn’t know what zombies eat (other than human flesh), where they work, how they dress or wear their hair or what it means to be a zombie in society.
Ed’s two loser friends can’t abandon him fast enough. He loses his job and is about to be evicted from his crappy apartment. Ed tries to take the easy way out and end it all but finds it is almost impossible to DEAD the UNDEAD. Ed calls the zombie suicide hotline in desperation, not to be talked out of ending it all but for advice on how to do it. His hotline counselor, Teddy Bare (Kelly Petering) feels sorry for him because he is so pathetically uninformed about Zombies and invites him to her Equal Rights for Zombies rally.
Ed begins to learn all about Zombies and that living life zombie style may not so bad. Ed turns out to be a great looking zombie, a natural zombie athlete and as good things begin to happen to him, he worries that the Loser Ed inside him will come out and ruin his new Zombie life. Ed realizes that everything that was wrong with his life as a human was more about who he was on the inside and not what he was on the outside. Everything changes for Ed when he realizes he was born to be a zombie and he wants to be the best zombie he can possibly be. Ed risks everything he has gained as a Zombie to help all zombies have a better life and be more accepted in human society. Zombie Ed inadvertently founds the “ZOMBIE GO GREEN’ movement and pushes the zombie equal rights campaign years ahead and somehow…makes it cool to be a zombie.
Zombie Ed realizes he was born to be a zombie. As his smoking hot zombie girlfriend Teddy likes to say… Once you’ve GONE ZOMBIE there is no going back….
