Overview

BEANS (QUINN) FAGIOLI considers herself a modern Nancy Drew with a twist. She's a feisty red-headed teenager with a thirst for crime-stopping. After six years of traipsing from Seattle to Galveston to Steubenville, Beans and her mom have settled in unsuspecting Mill Creek, New Jersey, a quaint and quiet rural town. Here they seek a stable life, one that can heal the enduring grief from the death of their father and husband.

When the commencement of school approaches, Beans and her mom PAULIE attend orientation at the new middle school. Afterwards, the two head home but are detoured through the other side of town. While passing Peacock Hill Cemetery, Beans spots a dark figure lurking in the shadows. She insists Paulie back up for a closer look. Suddenly, Beans realizes the being isn't from this earth - it's a zombie!

Once again, Beans kicks into investigative mode. Having solved two recent cases that featured a dognapping ring and a cold case of murder, Beans is hungrier than ever to find success with case number three. She enlists 9th grade boy-next-door BOOGER (BALTHAZAR) BUGEROWSKI who reluctantly helps because he's got a crush on Beans. HADDIE (BOOGER'S KID SISTER). an autistic seven year old gets into the act, too, along with neighbor VITO RUSAMANO (aka Beans' black-haired Adonis), a sophomore football player by day, forensic scientist by night. Together the unique foursome plot and scheme to find success.
