Randy is a single father, barely earning enough as a coffin maker to provide medicine for his sick daughter Angeline. He is forced to work overtime, leaving Angeline alone for long periods. One night, while her father is working, Angeline has a reaction to the medication which results in her death. In shock and unable to pay the hospital bill and obtain Angeline's body, Randy falls under the influence of the unscrupulous owner of a funeral home. In exchange for paying the hospital bill, he insists Randy agree to an elaborate funeral service for Angeline at his business. He knows Randy has no money and few options.
