The premise
Here’s the bit.
Four surviving students barricade their high school after a zombie apocalypse. Howie Miller arrives seeking shelter with his son Boone, whose undead behavior Howie keeps explaining away as ordinary teenage quirks. The students demand proof, but Howie treats his son’s appetite, groans and attacks as signs of talent or harmless misbehavior, periodically swatting him with a bat. Another zombie enters and tangles with Boone, which the proud father reads as a new friendship. Eventually Howie accepts that they must part and gives Boone sentimental advice, along with his mother’s brain. Their farewell hug leaves Howie bitten and suddenly eager to join his son, sending the students back to their weapons and arguments.
