Being dead sucks. Talia would know -- she's been a ghost for five years, stuck on earth until she completes her "life task": a goog deed that'll allow her to move on. Brody doesn't know the first thing about death -- all he wants is to slack off, make some cash, and get back together with his ex-girlfriend. But when Talia turns to him for help hunting down a brutal serial killer, Brody comes face to face with a dangerous world of street gangs, spectral samurai, and his own latent supernatural powers.
