Detention of the Dead

Eddie arrives at Lincoln High School's after-school detention, feeling an array of emotions as he assesses his surroundings. He meets an eclectic group of classmates including Janet, the cheerful cheerleader, and Brad, the arrogant jock, creating an unexpected beginning to his afternoon.

As the group settles, Ash attempts to sell drugs to Mark, a quiet student with troubling behavior. The situation spirals out of control when Mark suddenly bites Mrs. Rumblethorp, which sends the entire group into a panic.

The chaotic aftermath leads the group outside where they are horrified to discover that students have transformed into relentless zombies. Terrified and bewildered, they scramble to find a safe place away from the swarming undead.

The group takes refuge in the school library, hoping it will provide them safety from the chaos. Their moment of respite is shattered when Mrs. Rumblethorp returns as a zombie, forcing them to fight for their survival.

Faced with the threat of infection, the group must deal with Brad's concealed bite wound. Tensions mount as they argue about whether they should take drastic action against Jimmy, who shows signs of turning into a zombie.

In a moment of despair, Jimmy decides to take his own life by jumping out of the window, choosing to spare his friends from the anguish of having to face him as a zombie. His decision deeply affects the group's morale.

Seeking to calm their nerves, Ash suggests they smoke cannabis together, leading the group to bond in a surprising way amidst the horror. They share insights about their identities, breaking away from their high school stereotypes.

As the undead threaten their safety, the group decides to escape through the school's ventilation system. However, their plans quickly unravel when they encounter zombified rodents and get separated in the confusion.

Inside the library, a quiet moment of connection occurs between Eddie and Janet as she expresses her long-held feelings for him. Sadly, their moment is interrupted when Willow and Brad return, complicating the fragile dynamics of the group.

The group faces a devastating turning point when Brad's infection becomes apparent, putting Janet in immediate danger. In a heartbeat, she must defend herself and ultimately forces him out of the window to protect her life.

With the relentless advance of zombies, the remaining members of the group work together to construct a makeshift cart from library supplies. They hope to use it as a means to escape as they battle to keep the undead at bay.

As the chaos escalates, Janet is bitten and, recognizing she can no longer stay with her friends, makes the ultimate sacrifice. In a poignant moment, she shoves herself and the undead Brad off the roof to save the rest of the group.

Amidst grief and despair, the group is miraculously rescued by a military unit that arrives to eliminate the remaining zombies. Their timely intervention brings a sense of hope, leading Eddie and Willow to feel a reignition of their will to survive.

As they prepare to leave the school, Eddie and Willow share their first kiss amidst the chaos, solidifying their connection before stepping back into reality. Just then, a zombified Janet suddenly reappears, but the military swiftly takes her down.

With all the chaos behind them, Eddie and Willow finally head home together, hopeful for a life beyond the horrors they faced. Their journey through the nightmare leaves them changed but united in survival.
