Arthur Morel (Paul McGann from ‘Withnail & I’) has dedicated his life to ushering the deceased from the world of the living to the world of the dead, so when local gangster Finlay Unsworth (Roger Barclay) makes Arthur an offer he can't refuse, Arthur believes he can handle the extra workload.
With retirement on the horizon, Arthur looks the other way and takes the money but as Finlay's killing spree spirals out of control, Arthur realizes he's out of his depth. In fact, he's drowning. Realizing he knows too much and will be the next one in a body bag, Arthur's only option is to turn 'amateur vigilante' and attempt to end the brutal reign of terror.
As Arthur is forced to face his own demons and confront Finlay, he knows that the funerals are not over and that he may well soon be heading to his own. Includes a nice turn from Tara Fitzgerald as an embittered nightclub singer who adds sparkle to the film’s darker tones.
