Callum Walker kills people for a living. Although he doesn’t get a say in who his boss puts on his list, he likes to hunt people who hurt children in his spare time. After a misunderstanding that leads Callum to believe Ryan Fairview - a local funeral director - is responsible for hurting one of the neighbourhood children, he finds his next target.
However, Ryan isn’t like other morticians. He can see dead people. So, when Callum breaks into Fairview Funerals ready to kill him, Ryan is shocked to find that his would-be murderer is haunted by all the people he’s killed.
Ryan might be just the man to help Cal get rid of his little ghost problem. The only problem is, these two are polar opposites and Ryan can’t seem to get over the small issue of home invasion and attempted homicide.
Will Cal win over the stubborn and neurotic mortician? Or will Ryan refuse to be swayed by the impulsive yet charming mercenary?
