Plot

Chuck Lumley, previously a Wall Street whiz-kid, trades his high-stress finance job for the seemingly peaceful role of a morgue attendant, hoping to escape the relentless demands of city life and spend more time with his neurotic fiancée, Charlotte Koogle. However, life throws him a curveball when he's reassigned to the night shift, a disruption that introduces him to his new partner, the volatile and eccentric William Blazejowski or "Billy Blaze". Billy, an unstoppable chatterbox with a mind teeming with questionable get-rich-quick schemes, turns Chuck's world upside down. When Chuck strikes up an unlikely friendship with Belinda Keaton, a kind-hearted hooker who lives next door, he's plunged into a world he never imagined. Belinda and her friends are left vulnerable after the sudden death of their pimp, and Billy, ever the opportunist, sees this as a chance for his latest harebrained plan - to transform their quiet morgue into a bustling night-time brothel. Despite his initial reservations, Chuck is swayed by his growing affection for Belinda and the prospect of a legitimate business opportunity for the collective benefit of all involved. However, he soon finds himself grappling with the harsh reality of their unconventional enterprise, the objections from his boss, and the unpredictable nature of their clientele. Caught in a web of complex emotions and moral dilemmas, Chuck must navigate this new and bizarre path. Will his innate financial savvy and newfound entrepreneurial spirit be enough to sustain this unlikely venture? And how will he reconcile his burgeoning feelings for Belinda with the fact that she is a prostitute? As the night shift at the morgue takes on an entirely new meaning, viewers are drawn into a whirlwind of humor, chaos, and unexpected romance.
