Spoilers ahead
Grocery delivery boy Oliver Whynacht and his brother Jackie make a brief journey back to their roots in Nova Scotia for their estranged father’s funeral, anticipating a quick trip. However, the reading of the will brings an unexpected shock: Oliver inherits his father’s entire estate, which includes a funeral home, leaving the family, especially his widow, and the embalmer Roberta Knickel, reeling with disbelief.
As Oliver adjusts to life in the funeral home, he learns from Henry, the handyman, that the business is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.
