Synopsis:

"In sickness and in health, till death do us part."

So vowed newlyweds Denise (TRACY COOGAN) and Danny (GRAHAM SIBLEY) before bounding off for an idyllic honeymoon retreat down the Jersey shore. Basking in the glow of their nuptials on a beach at dawn, the couple's bliss is interrupted when a mysterious figure inexplicably emerges from the waves and mauls Danny. Rushed to the hospital, pronounced dead on arrival, Danny suddenly awakes...a changed man.

The next day, Denise catches her formerly vegetarian husband feasting on human flesh in the bathtub.

What's a girl to do? She downs a couple tequila shots, smokes a cigarette, and helps him clean up the mess. He promises to never hurt her, so she sticks to her vows and tries to plot a way for them to leave the country and make Danny well again. But can they jet off to Portugal before Danny claims more victims? And will she be able to put on the perfect candlelight dinner if his skin's shedding into the soup?

With startling complexity, Zombie Honeymoon treads the fine line between satire and drama as Denise and Danny struggle with their appalling new reality--a harrowing descent into a hellish nightmare that stretches the concept of commitment to its breaking point.

Will Denise break her vows...or will she stand by her man?
