Former child-star, Monica (Melissa Fumero), is now broke and barely clinging to her sobriety when her father, who abandoned her fifteen years ago, dies and leaves her the family business. She inherits Mourners Inc, a company that supplies à la carte mourners for wakes and funerals (think escorts, but more death). But, there's a catch -- to take ownership of the biz, Monica must deliver a shiny, loving eulogy at her father's funeral, a man she barely knew.
