A darkly comic portrait of a man's psychological unraveling in the wake of his wife's suicide, using substance abuse and escapism as both coping mechanism and self-destruction.

Following the unexplained suicide of his wife Liza, website designer Wilson Joel turns to huffing gasoline fumes and remote control gaming while avoiding an inevitable conflict with his mother-in-law.
