David Cronenberg returns with the unsettling tale of an entrepreneur who searches for life beyond the death of our bodies.

After losing his wife to cancer, wealthy entrepreneur Karsh pours his energy into GraveTech, a revolutionary technology designed to offer the bereaved a way to accompany their deceased loved ones on their journey into the unknown via an innovation known as the ‘shroud’. But there are those who stand opposed to Karsh’s methods and plan to sabotage his primary site in Toronto to prevent the creation of other virtual cemeteries. In trying to uncover the identities of his enemies, Karsh finds himself chasing conspiracies and shadows.

Inspired by his own experiences of grief, the latest, deeply personal offering from Cronenberg oscillates between a mystery thriller and a love letter peppered with several of the director’s signature themes: the malleability of the human body, how technology is fused into our lives, and the inextricable link between sex and death.
