Based on fact and blended with fiction. Kim (Kim Filth) lives with his dad, sells weed, writes poetry, and snorts painkillers to get through the day. By night, he likes to be painted up as his alter ego, Shadow Zombie, which is how he meets registered nurse and part-time clown Brandi. The film chronicles Kim's world to see through to the human core of a drug addict or clinically depressed clown.
