Be careful what you wish for . . .
Lonely, overweight Billy Barton's birthday has come except he has no friends to share it with. So he wishes upon a shooting star for a friend and is almost immediately granted his wish. His friend: a zombie named RIP.
Chaos and blood-soaked mayhem ensues as Billy, with RIP's help, seeks to level the playing field between him and the school bullies who make fun of his weight.
