Recently graduated from high school and still unsure of what to do with their lives, a pair of twins still reeling from the disappearance of a close friend makes an ominous discovery in this genre-bending coming of age drama. Patrick and Carol Darling live in a posh suburban community where the walls have ears, and secrets are scarce. Their good friend Wendy Hearst was beloved, bright, and beautiful, but now she's vanished without a trace. One day, while driving though the countryside, Patrick and Carol discover Wendy's mysteriously animated corpse and bring the zombie to empty house. There, they struggle to find a means of bringing their old friend Wendy back to life. But there seems to be no cure for Wendy's bizarre malady, and as the summer wears on, Patrick and Carol's idiosyncratic behavior captures the curiosity to their family and friends. If they could only revive the Wendy they once knew, the brothers could finally stop being so secretive. Should that endeavor fail, however, it appears that Patrick and Carol will soon clash on their quests to find love between the living and the dead.
