In his nightmares, 8-year-old Miko is haunted by zombies. Especially little Zombriella follows the boy doggedly. And on top of everything, his older brother makes fun of him, calling him "scaredy-cat". Miko has to face his fears, stand up to the monsters and show his brother what he’s really made of.
