In the heart of affluence and opulence, Jacob, a stoic multimillionaire, grapples with an emotional void, a condition that's trailed him since his father's abrupt disappearance when he was just four. His mother's death further seals him in an abyss of isolation, making him a stranger to his own feelings. As the last familial ties dissolve with the sale of his lavish estate, Jacob's desolation deepens, leading him to a series of unsuccessful suicide attempts. In a desperate bid to escape his hollow existence, Jacob uncovers a secret organization that promises a one-way ticket out of life. It's within the cold, sterile confines of this organization’s showroom, amidst the melancholy display of caskets, that he crosses paths with a sweet, introverted woman who shares his desire for a final exit.
