Inconsolable since the death of his wife, Karsh, a prominent businessman, invents a revolutionary and controversial technology that enables the living to monitor their dear departed in their shrouds. One night, multiple graves, including that of Karsh’s wife, are desecrated, and he sets out to track down the perpetrators.

In this intensely personal work, David Cronenberg crafts a genre-bending tale that slips between mystery and romance, all the while echoing his signature themes: the body as mutable flesh, technology as both saviour and parasite, and the uncanny union of sex and death.
