Edgar Wilson's grim profession is to dispose of the roadside dead, a task he approaches with detached efficiency. His routine is shattered when circling vultures lead him to a grim discovery, igniting a reluctant odyssey. This stark journey, undertaken with a fellow laborer, becomes a poignant quest to afford dignity to the forgotten and discarded, exploring themes of friendship and the quiet acts that affirm our shared humanity.
