On the day of his father’s funeral, Philip, a troubled, overweight man, discovers the last “gift” left by his abusive patriarch… inside the family toilet. Faced with this revolting revelation, Philip’s trauma-stricken mind unravels, and he locks himself in the bathroom, hoping to bring back his deceased father by building a DIY mausoleum. As his remaining family members struggle with their own complicated grief, Philip descends deeper into madness, revealing a possible supernatural cause to his morbid obsession.
