As Mort steps into this unusual role, he grapples with the responsibilities that come with reaping souls, discovering that the job is far more complex—and comical—than he ever imagined.

Mort's journey is filled with a colorful cast of characters, from his enigmatic mentor to the quirky souls he encounters along the way. The clash between Mort's naive perspective and the grim realities of his tasks results in a delightful blend of humor and thought-provoking moments.
