Synopsis:

THE MORTICIAN is a contemporary urban noir. A redemption tale, the story of a man stepping from darkness into to light, one man's struggle through the violence and corruption of a dying city where the poor are corralled into lawless ghettos. Alienated and cold, The Mortician (Method Man) processes the corpses with steely disregard. He is lonely and isolated.He is introduced to his new employee, Noah, (EJ Bonilla) by the morgue boss (Edward Furlong). A volatile youth working as part of his parole, Noah brings the notorious gangster, Carver (Dash Mihok), to the mortuary door. The Mortician's attention is pricked by the tattoo of Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus' inked on the body of a murdered woman (Judy Marte), that arrives at the morgue, triggering a series of haunting dreams from his childhood.Discovering a scared child, Kane (Cruz Santiago), fleeing the morgue, he's forced to act. Kane sparks The Mortician's emotional awakening. They become reluctant allies struggling for redemption. They flee from danger, determined to escape the physical and emotional chains that threaten to imprison them forever.

Britain in the wake of a financial crisis. The country is bankrupt; the city's banking district has not survived the disaster. There is one person, however, whose services are much in demand, namely, the mortician. One day his boss introduces him to his new colleague. Noah is a young offender currently on probation. One day, the dead body of a murdered young woman is delivered. Noah is unexpectedly squeamish. The mortician notices a tattoo of Botticelli's Birth of Venus' on her stomach and this conjures up memories of his childhood and his mother. It transpires that the boy, Kane, is the murdered young woman's son. All of a sudden, the situation triggers the mortician's emotional awakening...

A mortician's (Method Man) life is suddenly changed when a dead woman's body comes into his morgue jolting old memories from his past. As days go by he discovers a young boy hiding out in his morgue. When confronted the mortician learns that the boy is there to see his dead mother one last time while hiding from his father, who wants him dead. This triggers something inside the mortician and he is determined to help the boy escape from danger and is prepared to kill anyone who stands in the way.
