Vince is charged with cleaning up a dead body for the mob. But it’s a big job and he has to enlist the help of his brother-in-law, Ted, who has been visiting with Vince and his wife. But Ted, though amiable and chatty, is dim-witted, and his presence is more of a hindrance and help to Vince. And Ted might just put Vince in a sticky position, especially as the urgency of his task begins to catch up with them.

Directed by Riley Sugars from a script co-written by Sugars and Chloe Graham, this crime comedy is a mash-up of Weekend at Bernie’s and Reservoir Dogs, mixing the macabre with the inept with often darkly hilarious results.
