Five years after her parents’ traumatic divorce, Dixie has turned into a surly teenager whose only wish is to escape the hateful world she lives in. At school she’s laughed at for being shy and dressing like a Goth; even her best friend wants nothing to do with her. Dixie’s dad takes his daughter to the fair in an attempt to cheer her up, but Dixie has had enough and she flies off the handle. Wanting to die, the young girl runs through the woods in a storm. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning hits a tree and it crashes down on top of her. On wakening, she realises she’s been buried in the cemetery and is now... a zombie!
