MayBell is excited to attend her very first Professional Mourner's convention. She's looking forward to meeting other mourners and picking up tips to improve her graveside performances. Anticipating days filled with representative mourning situations and training, May quickly discovers that the corpse lying in the coffin is all too real. To make things worse, May appears to be the last person to have seen the victim the night before.

And second, the real killer doesn't want May to discover the truth. Making her unusual mourning situation not only tricky but unconventionally deadly as well.
