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:
- 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.
- Life, her sanctimonious sister, blames her for, well, everything .
- A string of murders occurs off-schedule. Nothing ruins a holiday quite like an admin disaster.
- A charming (sexy ) scientist shows up, and, of course, he's hiding something.
- 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?
