Taking Care of Paul: episode 1 — He’s Dead
Marcy, Paul’s ex-girlfriend informs Bob (Paul’s best friend) that Paul is dead.
Paul Joseph is an elderly, cantankerous music teacher who's taught hundreds of students from famous musicians to the, um, not so famous. He's a know-it-all, a womanizer and frankly, a macho schmuck. He has a massive heart attack which triggers his only friend Bob to try to take care of him in his last days. Paul is given no more than a week to live and Bob panics - in desperation, he calls on some of Paul's former students to help. A (very) few reluctantly answer the call. As to what ensues, well...
Taking Care of Paul contains mature language and situations.
