Synopsis/Details
Edward, an aspiring necrophiliac, is fired from his job for being a little too creepy with a customer, who he imagines looks really good dead. In the parking lot, he meets a girl, Theo, who actually looks dead and they hit it off. She invites him back to her house and attempts to have sex with him, which turns him off due to her being alive. She tells him that she's dying of cancer, and losing her virginity is her final wish. Edward attempts to fulfill her wish but can't quite pull it off.
Theo and Edward hang out again, but run into the same trouble as before. Theo really likes Edward and wants to figure out why he's not into her, so she sneaks onto his computer while Edward is in the bathroom. She's rightly horrified by what she finds in his search history.
Theo runs out of the house, Edward chasing behind her. She tells him that she found out that he wants to have sex with dead people, then admits that she was just pretending to have cancer to get Edward to sleep with her. The two make up and promise never to lie to each other again...then Theo is hit by a car and dies. Flash forward to Edward on a blind date with someone, and he decides to be honest with her. He admits to his desires, and his date tells him that it's cool, she's into pegging and if he can handle that, she can handle his kink.
