Over My Dead Body

Ming arrives back at 14A in Seaside Heights after work, joining his wife Yana and brother-in-law Kingston. He finds a male body lying at the door and immediately alerts everyone inside. The discovery sets the whole evening in motion.

Ming suggests contacting the police, but Meghan rejects the idea, worried about stigma and debt implications for their apartment. Instead she proposes a discreet solution to move the body to a neighboring unit. The tension grows as they debate how to handle the situation.

The four residents push the body from 14A into 14B using mops, trying to avoid leaving evidence. Their improvised hide-and-seek with the corpse creates rustling sounds and draws attention from 14B’s occupants. The awkward maneuver marks their first failed attempt to conceal it.

Boron, an elderly neighbor in 14B, peers through the peephole and confronts the group as they drag the body through the door. An argument erupts about property values and the residents’ debts, revealing the pressure to hide the incident. Eventually they agree to seek a different hiding place.

The group decides to relocate the corpse to 14C, hoping Mary can help. At 14C, the door breaks open and a dog bolts out; Mary explains the dog is Buddhist and denies any dangerous influence, complicating the plan.

A man steps out of the elevator calling himself Bear from 14D, and the others pretend they’ve seen a corpse outside his door. Messi, Bear’s son, arrives and the group tries to maintain the ruse to avoid triggering police involvement. Tension rises as new players join the scheme.

Meghan brings up the nearby public housing estate known for suicides, arguing it won’t affect property values. Most of the group agrees to relocate the corpse there as a temporary, lower-stakes solution. The plan shifts away from the original apartments.

While moving the body down, Lee, the building’s security guard, discovers the corpse. They subdue him and lock him in 14D, with Messi reluctantly overseeing him. The live risk of being caught escalates as CCTV coverage becomes a constant worry.

Realizing every exit has CCTV, they decide to drop the corpse down the garbage chute and retrieve it from the refuse chamber. A few setbacks arise when the workers clean the pipe, forcing them to seek an alternative plan. The tension grows as timing becomes critical.

A girl smoking nearby introduces herself as Sue from 13A and offers assistance to avoid bad luck in the building. She becomes an unexpected ally who provides another path to move the corpse out. The group hopes Sue's involvement can smooth over the plan.

Lee escapes confinement by luring Messi to drink beer, then chases the floor’s conspirators as they attempt to use a suspended platform to reach the rooftop. Boron kicks Lee down the stairs, and Lee suffers a fatal heart attack. The incident complicates their already fragile plans.

The suspended platform jams on the way up, stalling the plan to move the corpse into a safe space. Desperate excuses are made to delay the corpse’s entry into any apartment. The group scrambles to improvise a new route.

Sue suggests sneaking the corpse under her bridal gown during the next day’s tea ceremony. Escapes past Sue’s relatives seem possible, but they’re blocked again by Lee on the road. The plan tests the group’s ability to coordinate with outsiders.

Messi gives Lee a red envelope to quiet him, allowing them to push toward a burial on a nearby hill. They successfully conceal the corpse there, hoping the risk of discovery remains low. Their relieved moment is short-lived as disturbing sounds hint at trouble.

The buried man moans as he recovers, revealing he is alive and only stung by a bee. The residents realize their bold deception failed to kill him. They begin digging him out of the grave, trying to salvage the situation.
