Joel, a twenty-something cubicle lackey, is depressed over the recent breakup with his girlfriend. In a crazy effort to get revenge, he fakes his own death in order to make her feel guilty. At first, he relishes in the freedom of being 'dead,' celebrating the lack of responsibility and commitment. But, over time, he realizes all that he is missing out on and discovers that life is just a little bit more fun when your actually living it. And, that sometimes it takes a little (fake) death to truly appreciate life.
