The elderly caretaker of a remote morgue possesses an impeccable memory for everything but names. He passes his days showing corpses to those searching for their lost ones and tending to his beloved plants. When protest in a nearby city breaks out and the militia covertly raid the morgue to hide civilian casualties, he discovers the body of an unknown young woman. Evoking memories of personal loss, he embarks on a magical odyssey to give her a proper burial with the help of a mystic gravedigger who collects stories of the dead, an old woman searching for her long-lost daughter, and a hearse driver tormented by his past.
The story is said to follow a pair of loner college undergrads, Jack and Montgomery, who order a take-out pie, but accidentally take a homemade drug that turns a two-floor journey downstairs into a “mind-bendingly transformative quest.”
On the verge of losing everything, veteran sprinter Gu Young is getting one last opportunity at redemption, including a chance to re-kindle the love of his life.
