Timmy Lee (Bobby Lee, MADTV) is a depressed ramen chef. After botching his suicide, he is visited by Death (Matt Jones, BREAKING BAD). Upon realizing that Timmy is still alive, Death struggles to make sense of this once-in-a-millennium fiasco. Insistent that he "can't die on an empty stomach", Timmy convinces Death to go to his ramen shop for one final meal. After getting drunk and eating ramen, Death starts to empathize with Timmy and follows him through the night as he tries to make peace with his own life. Through witnessing Timmy's humanity, Death learns a little about being human himself.
