America is ridden with zombies and Columbus, a college guy with a phobia for clowns, wants to travel to Ohio to look for his parents. On the road, he meets Tallahassee, a bad-ass tough guy with a twinkie obsession, who is on his way to Florida. Tallahassee gives Columbus a ride, to drop him off somewhere in Texas. At a grocery, they are ambushed by zombies, and they run into sisters Wichita and Little Rock who act helpless and innocent, only to rob the boys of their weapons. The girls leave. Later, they run into each other again, and agree to join forces. Little Rock wants to go to L.A., where there is a supposed zombie-free amusement park. They arrive in California, and go to actor Bill Murray's house just for kicks. To their surprise, Bill Murray is there. They hang out with him, but after a terrible practical joke, accidentally shoots him, thinking he's a zombie. Columbus and Wichita get close, and almost kiss. The next day, the sisters are gone. The girls are at the park, but the lights and noise attract the zombies. The boys come to their rescue, only to be blocked by a zombie clown. They haul themselves out of there. Tallahassee finds his coveted twinkie, and Columbus gets the girl.
