In this quirky comedy, emotionally detached Carys Reitman (Bijou Phillips) has an unusual way of trying to connect with people when she's down in the dumps: She ventures to a nearby mortuary to attend the funerals of strangers. But after she meets handsome Tyler (Ian Somerhalder) -- at his fiancée's memorial service -- Carys finds herself developing feelings for a living person for the first time. Jane Seymour plays Carys' estranged mother.
