Can a simple minded accountant, even outwit a butterfly, let alone learn something, when he attends a day long workshop on pet zombie care, given by a snide mysterious intellectual snob.

Barney, a late forty year old accountant, goes on a journey through 10 different topics covering the subject of basic pet zombie care, during a day long, one on one workshop. The speaker, Mr. X, is the author of the book, “The very serious subject of pet zombie care, the basics.” Which is what the workshop is based on. Mr. X, a mysterious, snobbish man in his thirties, leads Barney through each of these topics. Only Barney’s obsession with all things magical and the notion that magical spells are “somehow” involved, interfere and distract throughout the day. Barney also prefers to eat a whopping amount of hamburgers, over the day long workshop. Mr. X, a rather vain, intellectual man who believes in logic and science, puts him at odds with Barney’s love of magic and his childlike ways. He tries his best to be professional through out but cannot help to inject his disdain for magic as well as Barney, who he views as a dimwit.
