A short film about guilt, self-loathing, and hiding dead bodies from your niece.
Overview
After his mother's death, Gareth is caught between his fear of being alone and his fear of dealing with the world outside. The natural solution, hanging out with preserved bodies from his family's funeral home, works perfectly--until he suddenly has to take care of his niece while hiding the bodies from a neighborhood watchman.
