In the chaotic afterlife of comedy, washed-up comedian Henry Buckley finds himself suddenly thrust into stardom—but not quite as he imagined. At 50, Henry's career is a string of half-empty dive bars and cheap booze. That is, until a drunken mishap leads the world to believe he’s dead. In a bizarre twist of fate, obituaries flood the internet, celebrities weep, and Henry becomes an overnight sensation. His old comedy specials soar to #1, and networks scramble for biopic rights. Seizing the opportunity, Henry, with the aid of his former manager, rebrands himself as a posthumous comedic genius, releasing "found recordings" that skyrocket his fame beyond the grave. But as Henry basks in newfound success, dark shadows loom. A true crime podcaster begins to unravel the inconsistencies of his "death." A fanatical cult believes his comedy harbors hidden prophecies. And anonymous threats from someone who knows he’s alive start to flood in. Now, Henry must navigate the treacherous waters of his fabricated legacy, escape the success he faked, and confront the dangers that threaten to bury him—literally.
