Four friends, Natasha, Nanny, Ambrose and Beatrice, live in a house in a gated community. They have some secrets: the first, that they are vegetarian Vampires in hiding from the Vamp Gang, a hungry group of blood eating Vampires. Secondly, that they have given shelter to and are hiding some wandering Zombies. Natasha, in order to protect the Zombies and anyone they might meet on the outside is determined to humanize them so that they too can live in society like she and her friends do. Teaching the Zombies etiquette, which includes things like not eating the maids Phoebe and Millicents brains, elocution lessons from Shakespeare, and kindness from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood tapes, turns out to save the day for both the recovering Vampires and the childlike Zombies.
