After artfully arbitrating her return from the dead, Max Logan considers her experience with the afterlife a thing of the past. But she soon discovers her success as a temporary Superintendent of Spiritual Impediment was no accident, and she is, in fact, a Retriever of souls who died before their time. A position she neither believes in nor wants any part of. When Max returns and learns Roger-the-Proctologist, her current boyfriend and ex-husband, died in a plane crash due to an inept Reaper gone rogue, she has no choice but to venture back into the sweet hereafter in an attempt to rescue his soul before it's too late. Throw a freak blizzard, a hot Grim Reaper, and a nasty Gate-Keeper into the mix, and Max will be lucky to escape before her time runs out, and she becomes a permanent guest in the Dead-ever-after.
