Roland is shopping for burials, hoping to ease the costs of his parents' future funerals. He is a dutiful son, but he's also cash-strapped. Being thrifty and anxious, fearful of his mom and dad's demise and doubtful of his ability to pay for it all. When he visits a funeral home, he attempts to negotiate a "buy one, get one free" deal for his parents. But the negotiations are fraught, barreling Roland to a confrontation with his fears and perceived inadequacies.
