Yakov, a former Hassid, accepts a position as a shomer, hired to "sit the vigil" and watch over the body of a deceased community member. Having lost his faith, Yakov is not eager to go back to the insular religious community he only recently fled. But when Reb Shulem, a rabbi and confidante, approaches Yakov after a support group meeting and offers to pay Yakov to be the shomer for a recently deceased Holocaust survivor, he reluctantly accepts the job. Shortly after arriving at the dilapidated house, Yakov realises that something is very, very wrong. This will not be a quiet vigil.
