Plot

Los Angeles. The season of El Niño. Frank (Matthew Lawrence) is a high school student obsessed with heavy electron resurrection (reanimating corpses soon after death). One night Frank’s neighbor and fellow student Lance (Justin Walker) throws a party and as a joke invites Karl (Ryan Reynolds), an outsider in school. When Karl shows up, however, he gets into a fight with Lance and Tuttle (Christian Payne) and dies after falling into an empty swimming pool. Frank sees Lance and Tuttle attempting to dump the body and offers to reanimate the corpse for them. Stealing a brain from his father’s (Judge Reinhold) lab, Frank successfully resurrects Karl and returns him home.
