Das Leben kann ein Arschloch seinAls Bens Mutter eines Tages das gute Klopapier gegen billiges, kratziges eintauscht, erkennt er, dass ihre Geldsorgen groß sein müssen. Doch der Siebtklässler hat weit mehr zu verlieren als das gute Klopapier. Wenn er nicht ganz schnell möglichst viel Geld mit dem Verkauf von Schokoriegeln und dem Gewinnen verschiedener Preisausschreiben macht, wird seine Familie aus der Wohnung geworfen. Und auch wenn Ben wirklich gut darin ist, wird es für einen Geldpreis reichen, mit dem er nicht nur die Miete bezahlen sondern auch das Versprechen einhalten kann, das er seinem Vater kurz vor dessen Tod gegeben hat? Schließlich ist es ein selbstgebasteltes Zombie-Hochzeitskleid aus Klopapier, das alles entscheiden könnte.
