Overview
The story takes us beneath the surface of Los Angeles by way of three stories. Laura has just started working as a pest control technician, training under Jason. She doesn’t enjoy the job, but she needs it to pay for cosmetology school. Mira is on a bachelorette weekend with her friends. Everyone is doing their best to make it special and fun, but the upcoming marriage is filling Mira with anxiety. Alex, a funeral home director wholly dedicated to his profession, is experimenting with something new: a ceremony in which participants experience their own funeral, designed to help cure depression.
