Set in the fabulous '50s, this is the tale of a sweet teenage girl named, Toffee and her "rebel without a cause" boyfriend, Jonny. Bending to pressure, Toffee is persuaded to break up with Jonny. Tortured by the betrayal, Jonny drives his motorcycle to the nearby Francis Gary Powers Nuclear Power Plant and flings himself into a nuclear cooling tower!

Jonny returns, risen from the dead - AS A TEENAGE NUCLEAR ZOMBIE! The mass of decomposing flesh professes his love and tells Toffee that he wants her back. He plans to clean up his act, finish school and take her to the senior prom - if she'll have him.

As crisis grips the school, questions are raised - Will Toffee take Jonny back? Will Jonny be allowed to come back and finish school, or will they cancel Senior Prom, ruining the most important night in the lives of the students of Enrico Fermi High!?
