Nick and Jill are strangers at the crematorium on the same day to pick up their loved one's ashes. Nick is an aspiring comedian who knows a dirty joke or two and Jill works at a marijuana dispensary. When everything seems to be falling apart for them, they decide to spend some time together. They're invited to a friend's house for an unusual evening of drinking games and learn deeper truths about each other throughout the night. In the end, it seems like they're uniquely matched to help each other reconcile their grief and move on.
