This thought-provoking comedy is a study of devotion to ideals in the face of urban sprawl. Hertel Daggett is the brooding, reclusive caretaker of the pet cemetery he inherited from his father. His solitude is disturbed by relatives and a wannabe real estate developer, urging him to sell and let the property become a shopping mall. His philosophy and startling defense makes for a cocktail of comedy with a rueful twist.
