Someplace Fun is about a woman living in a dying body. Rebecca Clarke's third child is a black hole, and as it grows, it threatens to devour both her and her two adult children, Amy and Levi. Amy uses the dead to educate the living; Levi makes a film immortalizing his mother; everyone around Rebecca grieves her in real time, to her face. As Rebecca's illness consumes everything in its wake, the family is left to ask: what will be left, once the end finally comes?
