After an estranged middle-aged son loses his mother to a fatal accident, he embarks on a mission to spread her ashes, with his “slow” step-brother in tow, against the family’s wishes.

With his life crumbling all around him — looming divorce, estranged daughter, unsteady job, borderline alcoholic — his family’s blatant disregard for Mama’s post-mortem wishes is the final straw. He breaks into the mausoleum, steals the urn, and prepares for a hasty cross-country road trip to spread her ashes… but not before being blackmailed into taking his “slow” step-brother along for the ride, who teaches him the importance of family.

That's the plan, Odie. :)

The conflict, Richiev, will be found in the active pursuit and entrapment by the family, in phone interactions with his his estranged wife, and in placating / connecting with the "slow" step-brother.

Yes, I want to see the family “Karen” hot on his heels and hellbent on stopping him 😉

Story is conflict. What is the conflict of finding a place to spread the ashes? And if that conflict is the family, how can that conflict happen if they are away?
