A darkly comedic Irish thriller about two struggling artists caught in an escalating nightmare of accidental deaths and corpse disposal, balancing absurdist humor with genuine paranoia.

A dissolute scriptwriter and a dejected actor become unwittingly drawn into a labyrinthine mess when several people experience bizarre accidental deaths in their flat. Though the men didn't deliberately cause any of the incidents, they fear that they will be unfairly pegged as murderers if they relay information to the cops, and promptly set about disposing of the corpses in gruesome ways.
