A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Dead Man’s Cell Phone is a wildly imaginative comedy about the technologically obsessed. When a lonely woman named Jean discovers that a stranger has died next to her in a coffee shop, she can’t resist answering his constantly ringing cell home. She suddenly finds herself as comforter and confessor to the man’s grieving friends and family, and before she knows it, Jean is ensnarled in the dead man’s bizarre life. Dead Man’s Cell Phone is a wickedly funny satire on life and relationships in the modern world..."
