Grandma Mavis stages her own funeral in order to reunite her estranged family… just in time for a storm to trap them all in a funeral home. But, little does she know, she’s not the only family member bending the truth. Can this eccentric clan of liars navigate the rocky road to reconciliation? Or will the next 24 hours be the final nail in this dysfunctional family’s coffin?
