Bob is just trying his best as a novice grim reaper when a routine soul collection goes disastrously awry, unleashing chaos and getting him put on probation. As his mistakes mount, Bob risks losing his job guiding spirits to the afterlife. But when a second chance arises to redeem himself under the tutelage of a stern mentor, Bob vows to do better.
Just as Bob is regaining his confidence, he uncovers the existence of a mythical bridge between realms and becomes one of the few with the power to traverse it. As he unlocks the bridge's reality-bending abilities, incredible new responsibilities as a guardian between worlds rest on Bob's shoulders.
To prove he is up for the immense task, Bob must pass a make-or-break final review by the grim auditors of the Bureau of Afterlife Affairs. But paradoxically, his unorthodox methods may also reform the hidebound organization itself and pave the way for a more compassionate approach to soul-reaping.
Can an unlikely hero who stumbled at first rise to become a true guardian and force of reform? The cosmic balance between life and death depends on it in this supernatural tale.
