After dying in a freak treadmill accident, mild-mannered slacker Doug Bellamy wakes up in the afterlife—not in heaven or hell, but in the soul-sucking offices of Reaper Inc., the bureaucratic agency responsible for collecting and processing the dead. Mistaken for a new employee due to a clerical error, Doug is assigned a cubicle, a scythe, and a quota. With no training and even less motivation, he starts bending the rules—accidentally saving lives, skipping pickups, and causing widespread glitches between the living and the dead. As ghost sightings, near-death resurrections, and existential paperwork pile up, Doug teams up with Val, a sardonic veteran reaper, to fix the mess before he's audited out of existence. But the deeper they dig into Reaper Inc.’s soul-shuffling system, the more they uncover a cosmic conspiracy buried beneath centuries of red tape. Now, Doug must choose: restore order to the afterlife… or blow it all up and reboot death itself.
