'Marjory is stuck in a dead end insurance job explaining deaths that can’t be explained. Her brother, Dmitri, is an alcoholic, who is being evicted from his home. When their estranged Aunt dies suddenly, the two reunite for her funeral. At the funeral they must confront a woman who won't be buried, stairs that are getting up and leaving, each other, people from their past, the train wrecks of their lives and, as Marjory tries to expose the darker side of their childhood and their Aunt, they must decide whether or not they got what they deserved.'
