Frank Goode used to be a doctor, until he got caught selling prescription medication he stole from work. But once a sawbones always a sawbones, Frank now operates a back-alley surgery shop out of his living room pulling slugs out of wannabe gangsters and offering the local working girls discount STD testing. When a unsanctioned hit goes down in his home, Frank is left scrambling to both get rid of the corpse. Meanwhile, Amber Hawthorne and Jolene Morris, roommates and business partners at the Hawthorne Funeral Home, are drowning in debt. Because both young women have trouble keeping their partying habits in line, they start selling body parts on the black market to keep their business alive - and their new buyers seem friendly and trustworthy enough at first. That is until the dead gangster they've recently parted up turns out to have been full of disease. Now Amber and Jolene's buyers want something else to make up for lost profits, leaving the two undertakers to learn sometimes running your own business can cost you an arm and a leg. Literally.
