Smart and cynical, 18 year-old George Lass, is crushed to death by an errant toilet seat from space. She is then forced to join the undead group of grim reapers (Rube, the team leader Mason, the screw-up and Roxy, the hard ass). As she clumsily learns to adjust to her life in the afterlife, George haphazardly hurtles towards her first unfortunate assignment: to collect the soul of a little girl.
