Charles George is the rather bored owner/manager of a crematorium and lives a humdrum and somewhat lonely existence. In order to alleviate the tedium of solitary weekends he signs up to a dating site and enters into contact with a brilliant, mesmerizing and enigmatic woman named Queenie Todd. Despite their wildly different backgrounds they begin to see each other regularly, but each has a different motive for continuing the relationship, which for one of them leads to a tragic conclusion.
