  3. How can you resist zombie chickens?

    So as you have inferred, Kate Walden is obsessed with being a film director. Since she lives on an organic chicken farm, she casts the talent that she has around her in her movies. Unfortunately, the social forces of middle school transform Kate’s best friend and principal actress Alyssa into …. well, zombie isn’t a far cry. Overnight, Kate becomes ridiculed and bullied in school. Since Kate has show business and scripted revenge in her soul, it is only a matter of time before she concocts a plot to at least get her dignity back… and woe to her enemies in the process.
