"In the Event of My Death" maps the day of Jeremy's funeral in an exceptionally sunny Seattle, Washington. His bandmate and best friend, Sam, and his gregarious sister, Mandy, discover that Jeremy left them a series of quick-witted, analog video messages that launch them into a packed day of quips and clues that lead them through their shared memories. Sam and Mandy encounter new faces and old places, while experiencing one final day with Jeremy and his wit. Will this injection of nostalgia be enough to help Sam and Mandy cope with the loss? Will Sam ever be able to play music again? A flash through Jeremy's life reminds us that it's fragile, that love comes in many forms, and that hope is a possibility after any experience of loss.
