"As an obituary writer, Bud Stanley knows a thing or two about leaving a legacy. But when he writes and accidentally publishes his own fantastically fictional obituary one night, the consequences rewrite his own life story. While HR figures out whether they can fire someone coded as “deceased” in their system, Bud finally starts to cope with the emotional fallout of his divorce. In a journey that’s both laugh-out-loud funny and moving, Bud and his friends figure out what a life well lived really looks like."
