خلاصه داستان : زندگی مری مجموعه‌ای از کارهای موقت و تلاشی نه‌چندان جدی برای نویسنده شدن بود، اما وقتی دوست‌پسرش را که دائم پای تلویزیون می‌نشست، مرده در خانه پیدا می‌کند، زندگی‌اش دگرگون می‌شود.

Mary’s life has been defined by a string of temp jobs and a half-hearted attempt to become a writer. But all that changes when she comes home to find her boyfriend dead in front of the TV set. During her misadventures in trying to get rid of his ashes, Mary discovers that there was much more to her couch potato boyfriend than she ever thought imaginable.
