The story centers on Darin (Jeff Palmiotti) and Simon (Billy Harvey), two laid-back Americans who teach Kindergarten and run a Taiwanese magazine called “The Oyster.” When a fellow ex-pat dies, they realize no one has contacted his stateside family and there is no one to claim his body. After stealing his corpse, they embark on a quixotic road trip in search of a suitable burial place for someone they barely knew. Along the way they meet the beautiful Nikita (Leonora Lim), who acts as their local guide. Masquerading as a bender road-movie, the darkly comic film explores deep existentialist questions as the protagonists journey deeper and deeper into the Taiwanese countryside.
