It's not easy ushering souls to the afterlife, just ask James, the Reaper. While crossing a soul, James stumbles upon a quirky senior citizen named Molly, who has the uncanny ability to see the dead. Convinced of her usefulness, James persuades Molly to join him as a reaping recruit.
Little does he know Molly has shared their secret with her sharp-tongued friend, Mildred, and the only way Molly will join is if James recruits them both.
Now James has to ensure Mildred fulfills her reaping contract without further annoying the gods and losing control of his reaping empire. Although Mildred seems hell-bent on making mischief for James, Molly isn't so innocent. She must outwit both James and Mildred to get what she truly wants.
