About
Arriving on a cruise ship as though pulled by an invisible string, senior citizen Donald discovers an apparent murder scene. While searching for answers, he finds a second body, and an emergency is declared. When it becomes clear that the murderer is not of flesh and blood, that Donald is next in line to be killed and that the ship’s captain is a ferryman carrying his passengers to the afterlife, he and the other elderly tourists decide to make a break for it.
