A deliberately absurd horror-comedy that treats a possessed reclining chair as a jealous romantic rival, blending supernatural elements with irreverent humor.

Francesca has always attracted weirdos. When one of her stalkers is found dead, she looks for comfort from her best friend, Maxi. Meanwhile, Maxi’s grandfather, Jack, a disgraced Rabbi, comes across a reclining chair containing a Dybbuk inside. Jack and his voodoo sorceress partner try to find out where the recliner has been delivered while exploring Jack’s newfound gift for communicating with the other world. Meanwhile, the reclining chair becomes obsessed with Francesca and begins to commit crimes of passion.
