Death is having an existential crisis – and honestly, she needs some time off. But the minute she arrives in London for a well-earned break, everything goes terribly wrong:
1. People still insist she's a scythe-wielding skeleton in a black sack. Spoiler: she's a woman who'd love a wardrobe upgrade, thanks.
2. Life, her sanctimonious sister, blames her for, well, everything.
3. A string of murders occurs off-schedule. Nothing ruins a holiday quite like an admin disaster.
4. A charming (sexy) scientist shows up, and, of course, he's hiding something.
5. And she's stuck in a mortal body . . . while there's a killer on the loose.
But she'll be fine, right?
After all, who better to investigate a murder than Death herself?
