Rebecca Owens is a new mortuary science graduate who starts a night job at River Fields Mortuary. She expects to embalm bodies, complete records, and keep the building clean. Strange events soon make the quiet workplace dangerous. Rebecca faces demons, frightening visions, and painful memories while deaths and supernatural threats grow worse. Her mortuary skills help her survive, but the story focuses on supernatural horror, body horror, fear, guilt, isolation, death, and control. The movie does not present Rebecca’s work as a political or identity-based cause. The story does not use political dialogue, activist themes, or criticism of Western institutions. The movie shows Rebecca’s difficult bond with her mentor, Raymond Delver. The story also explores her troubled personal life and the stress of working alone around the dead. The available material shows no clear focus on diversity, empowerment, queer themes, or identity politics.
