Act 1
Introduced to Hank who is stuck on a desert island alone, about to end his life. He sees a body washed up on shore and starts speaking to him because he's gone slightly mad from being marooned for so long. He names the body 'Manny' and is able to use it like a jetski to ride across the ocean. Later that night the corpse is able to speak to him as well as do other useful things like provide him with water. Manny has no recollection of his past life and has a child like mind.
Act 2
Hank tells Manny about his past life and teaches him about aspects of life as they try and make their way back to civilisation. Hank uses litter and plants to demonstrate these aspects of life such as movies, partying and eating out. During this, Hank leads Manny to believe that Manny is in love with a woman named Sarah, who rides the bus alone every day. Manny falls in love with Sarah, and it is this love that motivates him to try and find civilization with Hank. In reality, Hank is very much in love with Sarah, having seen her riding the bus every day but never talking to her due to his own shyness. He has a photo of her that he took secretly while on the bus set as the wallpaper on his phone and follows her on social media. As he looks through photos, it is revealed that Sarah is happily married and has a child. Manny and Hank have a falling out after Hank reveals that Manny never knew Sarah during his life.
Act 3
Hank and Manny make it back to civilisation finally and arrive in Sarah's back garden, however Manny turns back into a corpse which Hank doesn't believe and tries to prove to everyone how he's a real person. Finally, by the ocean with a news team, Hank, Hank's Father, and Sarah's Family, Manny begins violently farting until he floats back into the ocean and skims quickly away, propelled by his own flatulence. Manny and Hank share one last smile.
