[1] Grocery delivery boy Oliver Whynacht and his brother Jackie go on for what they expect to be a quick in-and-out return visit to their hometown in Nova Scotia for their estranged father's funeral.

Shortly after his arrival, Oliver is told by Henry the handyman that the funeral home is facing bankruptcy, as his father is the first 'customer' they've had in over a year.

Initially everything is fine, they start to click, he takes his eyes off the road for a moment and commits manslaughter by hitting and killing a passing Swiss night hiker with the truck.

Roberta unhesitatingly helps Oliver to cover up the crime, as she is also the local coroner in addition to being the funeral home's embalmer.

It is revealed that Roberta was using Oliver to regain ownership of the funeral home, which originally had belonged to her mother.

Costumes for the film were designed by Kate Rose who coordinated with key makeup artist Betty Belmore.

This review also calls attention to several actor's performances in the film including those of Jay Baruchel whom he found misplayed the role.
