THE DEAD BODY

A dead body, passed down the line from the family to a mortuary transport driver, a mortician, and a funeral director, torments those who handle him.

THE DEAD BODY

Four stories. Four secrets. One body that holds them all.

THE DRIVER
Sam Garfield is the driver of a mortuary transport van. He travels with his partner, Oscar, who eventually falls asleep as they drive to the mortuary during the middle of a snowstorm at the dead of night. From there, Sam has a horrifying conversation with The Dead Body, and reveals a dark secret from his college days.

THE MORTICIAN
Faith Olson is a dry-flirt mortician who receives The Dead Body to embalm the next night. After another body is delivered that evening, Faith ends up in a deadly game of Cat and Mouse as she is haunted by her past.

THE DIRECTOR
Ed Anderson, the funeral director, prepares the ceremony for The Dead Body, but is soon tormented by his darkest, deepest desires, and must maintain his sanity before The Family arrives.

THE FAMILY
The Family attends the ceremony, where they recall the story of their encounter with The Dead Body the night he died, and his very own secret that he took all the way to the grave.
