A vibrant, darkly comedic coming-of-age romance that treats a teenage girl's Frankenstein-style creation of her perfect boyfriend as a playful, affectionate fantasy rather than genuine horror.

In 1989, a misunderstood teenager has a high school crush — who just happens to be a handsome corpse! After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, the two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness…and a few missing body parts along the way.
