Synopsis:
Nathaniel Fisher, owner of the Fisher and Sons Funeral Home, is killed when a municipal bus broadsides his new hearse. Nate returns home from Seattle for the holidays and must deal with the tragedy and the rest of his family; Ruth (who has been having a secret affair with her hairdresser, Hiram), brother David (a closet homosexual seeing a black policeman named Keith), and a sister Claire (a rebellious high-schooler who receives the bad news after dropping crystal meth with new boyfriend Gabe). The only good thing to happen to Nate is Brenda, a passionate women he met on the plane, just before learning of his father's death. After his father's passing, David tries to fend off offers from the Kroehner Service Corporation, a funeral- home conglomerate looking to buy out the Fishers business.
