In a world where zombies exist, Tofu the Vegan Zombie is the friendly alternative to his meat-eating brethren. He was created accidentally, when his brain was lost during an experiment and replaced with a block of tofu by the prankster, Lab Monkey #5. When the little zombie boy woke up, he no longer raved meat but veggies and grains. As long as the block stays in his head he remains that way.

The man responsible for Tofu is Professor Vost. He has dedicated his life to finding a cure for the zombie epidemic, plaguing mankind. What he has discovered so far about the illness is truly shocking. The source of the sickness is animals, which are being genetically altered to make them meatier and tastier. The culprit behind this wicked crime is the evil billionaire and meat-processing magnate Mallesteros. Mallesteros knows his product causes zombie-ism and he isn’t bothered by it. To him it just ensures repeat customers, because his meat is the only thing that keeps zombies docile. He and Vost have a past and though at one time they were friends, the two are now bitter enemies.

Tofu lives with the Professor, his daughter Addie and Lab Monkey # 5. Though he is able to walk among both humans and zombies, Tofu is never fully trusted or accepted by either group. Addie cares about Tofu and tries to make him feel part of the family by bringing him along with her and Lab Monkey #5 for fun and adventures. However, Monkey’s mischievous, playful nature, often gets Tofu and Addie into trouble.

As for the Professor, he treats Tofu like a son and wants to keep him safe from the dangers in the world. He knows that because Tofu is different, there is always a chance someone might try and harm him. Vost is convinced the boy is the key to solving the zombie epidemic. The question remains, can he unlock the mystery of the tofu block before the world’s population is turned into the undead?
