Filmmakers Grace Lee and John Solomon team up to shoot a documentary about high-functioning zombies living in Los Angeles and their struggles to gain acceptance in human society. Despite their wildly different working styles Grace and John manage to chronicle the hopes and dreams of four fascinating subjects: Ivan a convenience-store clerk who longs for a career in publishing; Lisa a florist trying to recover her lost memories; Judy a hopeless romantic who learns to accept her true nature; and Joel a committed political activist striving for zombie rights. As Grace strives to get to know the zombies on their own terms John is eager to uncover their darker side and rallies to get the crew permission to shoot at a three-day zombies-only retreat called Live Dead where the documentary takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. What transpires there is beyond anything the filmmakers could imagine as they are forced to re-evaluate their ideas about tolerance identity politics and the future of the human race.
