Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead 1995

In the aftermath of a troubled past, Jimmy “The Saint” Tosnia (actor name) has attempted to leave his ex-gangster lifestyle behind, operating Afterlife Advice in Denver, where the dying record poignant messages for their loved ones. However, despite his best efforts, Jimmy’s business is floundering and his former boss, the ruthless crime lord known as “The Man With The Plan,” has taken advantage of his financial struggles to coerce a favor. This sinister figure, who suffered a devastating injury that left him a quadriplegic, demands that Jimmy persuade Meg, the ex-girlfriend of Bernard, his son who has been arrested for child molestation, to rekindle their relationship. The Man With The Plan believes this will somehow cure Bernard of his disturbing affliction.

Feeling forced into a corner, Jimmy reluctantly assembles a team of old acquaintances, including Easy Wind, Pieces, Big Bear Franchise, and the volatile Critical Bill. Their harebrained plan involves disguising themselves as police officers to intimidate Meg’s current beau, Bruce, into ending their relationship. However, things quickly spiral out of control when Bruce becomes suspicious of their true identities and mocks them, prompting Critical Bill to lash out in a fit of rage. The ensuing commotion awakens Meg, who is sleeping in the back of Bruce’s van, and Pieces’ accidental shot takes her life. The Man With The Plan is apoplectic with rage at the botched operation.

As punishment for their failure, Jimmy is granted clemency on one condition: he must abandon Denver forever. His former comrades, however, are not so fortunate. They face a gruesome fate known as “buckwheats,” where they will be brutally executed in a manner that is both painful and merciless. With his friends stalked by the relentless hitman Mr. Shhh, who has an unblemished track record of success, Pieces accepts his mortality with a sense of resignation, while Mr. Shhh provides a swift end to his suffering.

Easy Wind, meanwhile, seeks refuge in the company of Baby Sinister, a powerful gang lord, but their sanctuary is short-lived as Mr. Shhh infiltrates and decimates Sinister’s entourage. Franchise, desperate to protect his family, implores The Man With The Plan to spare his life, only for his plea to fall on deaf ears. In a shocking betrayal, The Man With The Plan agrees to Jimmy’s request but ultimately has Franchise killed, setting the tone for a vengeful Jimmy.

As the cycle of violence and retribution intensifies, Jimmy finds himself facing his own mortality, condemned to meet the same gruesome end as his friends.

As Mr. Shhh’s relentless pursuit finally leads him to Critical Bill, a gruesome showdown ensues, resulting in the untimely demise of both adversaries. In the aftermath of this brutal confrontation, the contract on Jimmy shifts to a trio of ruthless Mexican brothers, who seek to claim his life as their own. As Jimmy’s mortality becomes increasingly apparent, he takes a poignant moment to bid farewell to Dagney, the young woman whose love has captivated him, and then exacts a measure of vengeance upon Bernard, whose actions have brought suffering to their group. In a symbolic act of redemption, Jimmy also impregnates Lucinda, a prostitute seeking motherhood, fulfilling her deepest longing. With his final hours dwindling, Jimmy records a heartfelt video message for his unborn child, imparting wisdom and guidance for the life that lies ahead. As the trio of killers closes in on their prey, Jimmy meets his end with a quiet acceptance, his spirit soon reuniting with those he has loved and lost. The Man With The Plan mourns the passing of his son, while Jimmy and his companions gather in the afterlife to raise “boat drinks” in celebration of their eternal reunion.
