- A zombie-obsessed, special needs adult searches for his long lost mother; meanwhile, he befriends a Korean family and a drug-dealing gang who compete to teach him the meaning of family; but in the end, he teaches them all the powerful lesson of forgiveness through his favorite TV show, Apocalyptic Zombies—Richard Soriano
- As MARCUS (special needs) watches his favorite zombie TV show with his group home caregiver, Doris, she has a heart attack and passes away. Her son, Frank, is left to care for Marcus and the rest of the special needs adults at the group home. Her death propels Marcus to search for his absent mom. He bugs his social worker, Nicole to find her. Nicole struggles to take him seriously because he doesn't even know his mother's name. Frank and Nicole debate on whether or not to tell him. It's his right to know but it causes behavioral problems at the group home. Marcus is overjoyed when he discovers that she's in prison!
In Marcus and Doris' favorite Zombie TV show, Andrea loses her mother. Andrea attempts to charge her cell phone in the middle of the zombie apocalypse and reconnect with her friends. She tags along with a survivalist that she affectionately refers to as 'Mini-Rambo'.
Marcus earns money to visit his mother by getting a job at a Korean, family-owned laundromat. He bonds with Jung by learning to count money by using a number of ways to kill zombies. He also wins over Jung's wife, MeYoung, by driving her in a shopping cart to the acupuncturist. But their son, Kim, returns to drugs out of jealousy.
As Thanksgiving draws nearer and his funds remain insufficient, Marcus joins a drug dealing gang. They caused many headaches for Jung and his family. Frank and Nicole, the social worker, protest. They believe that the gang has a bad influence on him. Marcus finally believes he's found a zombie family even though they exploit his mental illness and naivete.
Will Marcus ever realize that his caretakers and his special needs friends are his true family?
