Lionel is a professional queuer sitter – he sits so you don’t have to: Home Affairs, the licensing office, name it and he’s there. It’s a living, if not much of a life. When a stranger hires him to wait at his dying mother’s bedside, Lionel reluctantly takes the job. Alone in her eccentric home filled with memories, he begins piecing together who this woman really was. A musician. An adventurer. Someone who actually lived. As her final hours tick away, Lionel is forced to face a question he’s been avoiding for a very long time: What exactly is he waiting for?
