Twenty-something slacker Tommy is reluctantly living with girlfriend-from-hell Jean. One day, after a row, Tommy returns home to find Jean dead on the floor. Convinced that he will be accused of her murder, Tommy buries Jean's body, which is however soon found by the police. Buried in the same spot is also the corpse of another woman, murdered eight years earlier. Tommy, who is now the main suspect of both killings, has to hide his dark secret from his new love interest Viv.
