LOGLINE - A couple returns home from Thanksgiving to find their beloved elderly neighbor has died on his kitchen floor. In their shock and grief, they struggle through the coming days. Feeling isolated and ignored they seek some form of closure.
SYNOPSIS - A couple experiences air turbulence on a flight home from Thanksgiving. As they make their way from SFO, something is amiss. It's too quiet. Are people actively ignoring them? They arrive home to find their beloved neighbor, Aaron, dead on his kitchen floor. Traumatized and grieving their loss, they resolve to attend his funeral despite having no connections to Aaron's family. After the funeral, things remain strange. They try to go about their lives, but they see Aaron everywhere. Or they seem to, as his visage changes into everyday people they come into contact with. They decide to re-visit his grave in a final attempt to figure it out.
