SYNOPSIS:

On Undead Integration Day, two sixteen-year-old best friends, Mia and Hailey, are thrilled to meet the new zombies enrolling in high school, who have been inoculated against spreading their infection.

A bus, marked ‘UUH: Undead Unification Helpers,’ arrives at the school and drops off several zombie teenagers. As Mia and Hailey watch them hobble to the entrance, Mia is lovestruck by Eric, a former student turned zombie that she remembers from before the outbreak.

Meanwhile, Mia’s father Marcus, as the manager of Pharmanetics, the company that developed the zombie inoculation, has set up an outing at a country club to get to know the new zombie hire, Ethan. The zombie tees off by removing one of his legs and using it as a club, outdriving the others. He snaps it back in place and continues on, to everyone’s amazement.

The students attend a school assembly, where they are assured that the zombies are no longer contagious and should be welcomed in all classes, and extra-curricular activities.

Mia and Hailey invite Eric to join their clubs, but Eric chooses football, which he played when he was human.

The coach puts Eric on the offensive line in order to embarrass him into quitting. After being trampled by the defense, Eric mumbles the word “wide” and Mia convinces the coach to give him a try at wide receiver. Eric surprises everyone with his sudden sprinting speed, as he has only ever slowly limped along.

Marcus and his employees gather at the club lounge after the round of golf to have a few drinks to celebrate the success of their drug. Marcus reveals to Ethan that they will be introducing more zombies each week back into society.

Eric plays in the Friday night football game and scores a touchdown running a straight route. He gives everyone hope for a big win, but when he tries to run a different pattern, he tumbles as he changes directions and the team loses. The crowd boos his performance, but Mia and Hailey accept Eric as their friend and reserve their judgement.
