A man is awakened by a ghost who has made a deal that will allow him to live again. How long he'll live is another matter. The short was inspired by the silent film era.

Before making this film, I spent a year watching silent films alongside a retired film professor. (He receives a “Special Thanks” in the credits.) To say the viewings inspired this short would be a profound understatement.
