Corpses Anonymous

Death is supposed to be the end.

Apparently, somebody forgot to tell the dead.

Once a week, beneath the light of a full moon, ten deceased strangers gather in a cemetery for the afterlife's strangest support group:

Corpses Anonymous.

There are folding chairs. There are donuts. There is coffee that nobody technically needs.

Presiding over the meetings is Father Michael Donnelly, a dead Catholic priest who assumes four decades of hearing confessions have prepared him to moderate a room full of corpses.

They have not.

The members of Corpses Anonymous come from different ages, races, professions, and very different deaths. There is a married couple still arguing about who caused their fatal car crash. A wealthy businessman furious that his family started dividing his fortune before he was cold. A retired teacher who still corrects everyone's grammar. A surgeon embarrassed by the ridiculous way she died. A nightclub promoter whose funeral attracted more than one grieving girlfriend. And a singer whose performances are so bad that several corpses would prefer to die again.

They argue about marriage, money, religion, children, funerals, sex, Star Wars versus Star Trek, and who really loved them while they were alive.

But beneath the insults, bad coffee, terrible singing, funeral gossip, and complaints about the living lies one uncomfortable question:

Why are they still here?

Each member has something unfinished. Something they regret. Someone they miss. Someone they still blame.

And because the dead can sometimes watch the living, they know exactly who cried at their funerals, who lied during the eulogy, who came for the food, who wanted the inheritance, and who whispered, "How much longer do we have to stay?"

For the first time in their existence, these people have absolutely nothing left to lose by telling the truth.

Unfortunately, they still have plenty of reasons to lie.

CORPSES ANONYMOUS: SUPPORT GROUP FOR THE DEAD is a supernatural dark comedy about death, regret, marriage, rotten children, bad funerals, unfinished business, and the things people finally admit when everybody in the room is already dead.
