A darkly tense short drama about competing claims to a corpse that exposes greed and moral ambiguity at the intersection of death and financial desperation.

At the identification of a dead body, a couple and a morgue employee both claim to be related to the deceased, and therefore the rightful recipient of an indemnity of at least 520,000.
