Two men, Elvis and Leo, arrive at a crime scene dressed in plastic biohazard suits. They prepare to clean up the aftermath of a gruesome incident, emphasizing the gravity of their task.

As Leo begins mopping up congealed blood on the floor, Elvis experiences severe nausea and begins to vomit into a bucket. His inexperience in this line of work is highlighted by his reaction to the gruesome scene.

Leo's cell phone rings, and Elvis, in panic, answers it for him while still holding the phone to Leo's ear. Leo's nonchalant greeting and acceptance of the next job reveal his familiarity with this distressing line of work.

After dealing with the phone call, the two men head to their new job location by a lake in a heavily wooded area. Elvis is visibly less than thrilled as they transition from one crime scene to the next.

Leo informs Elvis that their next cleaning job involves an elderly man whose body has been partially recovered. They will need to deal with the complications posed by wild animals scattering the remains.

A cabin can be seen in the background, establishing the eerie setting for their next task. The isolation of the location adds tension to the atmosphere as they prepare for the grim job ahead.

Elvis seems to zone out, swaying in the wind with his eyes closed. His demeanor underscores the absurdity of their situation as he and Leo share a moment of tranquility amidst their chaotic work.

Leo communicates the urgency of their task, explaining that they must find the other half of the elderly man's body. Their conversation reveals the harrowing nature of their profession, yet they maintain a calm demeanor.

Leo encourages Elvis to get ready as they face the challenge of tearing up the outhouse floor. This moment not only highlights the grotesque nature of their job but also the camaraderie between the two men.

Inside the outhouse, Elvis begins to throw out assorted clutter to make space for their grim duties. His actions reflect both the physical and mental preparation required for such a macabre task.

As they work, the reality of the situation becomes clearer to Elvis. He grapples with the physical and emotional demands of cleaning up such a horrific scene, showcasing the contrast between his naivety and Leo's composure.

Elvis's gagging and vomiting illustrate the emotional toll that this line of work can take. The dichotomy between the absurd and the tragic becomes evident as they proceed with the task.

Despite the gruesomeness of their work, Leo's demeanor remains calm and collected. His professionalism serves as a stark contrast to Elvis's inexperienced reaction, emphasizing the harsh realities of their job.

As they begin to uncover and process the remains, both men come to terms with the nature of their work. Completing this task signifies more than just a job; it reflects an unsettling aspect of human life.
