Synopsis: When Teddy hears new neighbors moving in to the house next door, it happens to be over night. Who does that? If you think it might be a little odd, you are not the only one. Odd becomes an understatement as Teddy becomes friends with Blart, the new neighbors’ son. Both the boys are the same age, and find out they have a ton in common. Just like two peas in a pod, or a peanut that overgrows on one side. Exactly the same…if you ignore the outside.
The adventure begins the weekend before the new school year, when Teddy decides to help Blart who has Zombifinitis, with a small problem. It is absolutely necessary to be fixed before school starts, which should be easy. Little does Teddy know, the problem is more complex than he thought. With a little research and some trial and error, Teddy tries a number of solutions only to discover the problem may not be what he thought it was in the first place. With a new school year starting in just two days, can Teddy find a solution for his friend Blart ?
