One rookie reaper. One reckless daredevil. Zero chance of this going by the book.

Fresh out of training, Greg has high hopes for his very first solo job as a reaper. That is, until his target—a BASE-jumping adrenaline junkie named Dustin—survives a fatal accident, dusts himself off, and walks away with an infuriating smile.

Convinced it's a cosmic clerical error, Greg takes matters into his own hands. Soon he's tampering with gear, cutting parachute cords, and maybe (but not technically) trying to murder a man who treats Greg's polite requests to “please die already” as some kind of joke.

At first, Dustin figures the anxious guy with the clipboard is just an overeager fan with dark humor. Odd, but cute.

Then he realizes no one else can see him.

Then he catches him walking through a wall—right after sabotaging his parachute.

Unhinged cosplayer or Death himself, Dustin doesn't care.

No one touches his parachute.

If Greg wants to interfere with his life, Dustin's more than happy to return the favor. Not only is he going to survive, he’s going to save everyone else on Greg’s list.

After all, if Greg wanted an easy target, he shouldn't have picked someone who flirts with death for a living.
