Dead End

Ed is born with a peculiar gift: he can ‘see’ the origin or history of things by tasting or eating them. He puts his weird talent to creative use in his one-man business The Aftertaste, a service helping people cope with the unexpected loss of a loved one, by looking into the deceased’s final hours. When his next client turns out to be a homicide detective stuck on a mysterious case, Ed faces a moral dilemma: if his gift works on a toothbrush or a sausage, would it work on a body too? The more Ed bites down into the case, the more he and his marriage are devoured by his own existential crisis.
