Surrounded by cemeteries in the flatlands of New Jersey, the small town
of Lud is sustained by the business of death. In fact, with no synagogue
and no congregation, Rabbi Jerry Goldkorn has only one true
responsibility: to preside over burial services for Jews who pass away
in the surrounding cities. But after the Arctic misadventures that led
him to Lud, he wouldn't want to live (or die) anywhere else.
As the only living child in Lud, his daughter Connie has a different
opinion of this grisly city, and she will do anything to get away from
it--or at least liven it up a bit. Things get lively indeed when Connie
testifies to meeting the Virgin Mary for a late-night romp through the
local graveyards.
