When she suddenly passes away, he is left completely alone, overwhelmed by both his grief and the pressure to lead a normal life. To combat his loneliness, Oliver embarks on an unusual quest to make new friends in the form of a rather macabre solution: he decides to dig up corpses from the local cemetery and bring them home, hoping they will fill the emotional void he feels so deeply.

As he continues to interact with his unconventional family, Oliver gradually learns about friendship and acceptance, although not in the way anyone might expect. The townspeople remain oblivious to the peculiar happenings in Oliver's home, but suspicions rise when things start going awry. Meanwhile, Oliver's internal struggle with grief and acceptance gains momentum, leading him down a path of unexpected realization and growth. As his connection to these unusual companions deepens, Oliver discovers more about himself and the true meaning of companionship amidst the bizarre circumstances that envelop him.
