He wasted his life until death gave him a second chance.
Nineteen-year-old Evan Marsh has always been stuck. While his friends left for college, he stayed behind—wasting days in his room, numbing himself with games, TV, and weed. His parents argue about him constantly. His golden-boy brother outshines him without trying. And Evan… just drifts.
When his father finally pushes him too hard, Evan takes the leap: a new job, a fragile chance to prove he isn’t the family disappointment. For the first time, it feels like things might change.
But fate has other plans.
A freak accident ends Evan’s life before it can begin, hurling him into an afterlife he never believed in—one where the dead walk among the living, tasked with guiding souls to what comes next.
Now, Evan must learn the rules of being a reaper under the watchful eye of a sharp-tongued mentor and alongside Zack, the fellow reaper he can’t seem to stop noticing. Between unfinished family business, the grief he left behind, and the impossible pull of desire, Evan is forced to ask himself the one question he’s been avoiding all along:
What does it mean to really live… when you’re already dead?
