Life is not a comedy or drama. It is both. When Adam hits a cow on the highway and dies, his Irish-Catholic American family decides to hold an old-fashioned Irish wake, but they have no idea what that really means. Their intentions are good, but the results aren't always so good. In life, one moment can be a tragedy that we laugh about and the next may be something funny that makes us deeply ponder the meaning of life (and death). A Wake is the story of a family that suffers tragedy, but does so with humor and strength. They argue and make up, irritate each other and love each other. It is the way life goes. For most families.
