A witty, high-strung comedy of social mortification that mines anxiety and awkwardness from a college student's colliding worlds at a Jewish funeral gathering.

College student Danielle must cover her tracks when she unexpectedly runs into her sugar daddy at a shiva - with her parents, ex-girlfriend and family friends also in attendance.
