Synopsis

Martin is trapped in a dead-end job, welcoming the newly departed into the afterlife. To negotiate his death, he dreams about is going "up there" and makes every effort to keep his nose clean. But his coping mechanisms become compromised when he is forced to track down an errant soul with the annoyingly upbeat Rash. Leaving the city for the bleak hinterlands, Martin meets the mysterious Liz who is also struggling to come to terms with her demise. Through his tentative romance with Liz and his love-hate relationship with Rash, Martin finally begins to accept his current deceased status and figure out what is of value to him.
