Bob Fuller is an average kid living in the town of Dresden, Ontario. He has a two friends, Gezink and Evil-O ([[SdrawkcabEman Olive backwards]]), and he attends Westwood Elementary school.
Of course, things don't remain normal in Dresden for long.
One day, a new student comes to Westwood Elementary. His name is Imre Lazar. Evil-O is immediately enthusiastic to get close to him, which makes Bob [[GreenEyedMonster take an instant disliking to Imre]]. Some time later, when a runaway piano is smashed against a wall, with Imre in between them, he and some other nearby kids are taken to a doctor to be looked at, and a shocking discovery is made.
Imre is technically [[UndeadChild dead]].
