Original Synopsis

In the same breath that a tawdry turn of events forces Darcy Burke to admit that somewhere along the way, her perfect spouse has turned into a belly-crawling philanderer, she drops dead.

Adam, the charismatic Reaper has who come to collect Darcy, is hunk-a-licious enough to charm most any woman into dying without a fight. However, Darcy is not most women, and she puts up an ill-fated, albeit admirable fight for her life.

Adam's sworn duty to escort Darcy to the Afterlife Admissions Administration puts a damper on Darcy’s murderous desire to bring her husband’s affair to a screeching halt. Dead or not, she has no intention of making it easy for her spouse to insert his new lover into the home she’s spent a lifetime creating.

Unfortunately for Darcy, there has been a serious software malfunction at the Afterlife Admissions Bureau. Apparently the backup systems show that Darcy isn’t supposed to be dead. Adam has made a terrible mistake. While dead is indeed dead, Darcy is refused admittance to Here-After because The Book of Deadiquette dictates that no soul shall enter Here-After until their official reason for living is realized.

Adam is ordered to escort an embittered Darcy back to Earth so that she may complete her life’s mission. The problem is, Darcy and the other souls she meets up with in Limbo are still dead, and are therefore bound to behave within the limits of decorum set forth by the Book of Deadiquette. Even if the souls do discover what their life missions are, completing them certainly won't be a cake walk.

Once, Adam enjoyed favored angel status in the Here-After. He earned demotion to reaper status when he was accused of having broken the heart of the Maker's favorite cherub. Adam has been cursed to remain a reaper until he can cause a human soul turn her back on the living out of love for him.

The problem is that human souls either can't see Adam, refuse to see him, or just plain don't believe in him. That leaves some pretty slim pickings until Adam realizes that Darcy and her cohorts may possess the singular caveat which could make it possible for him to reclaim his angelic powers. The Maker's curse never exactly specified that the human soul who came to love Adam and follow him into Death had to be a living one.

When Darcy and her friends abandon their pursuing their life missions and enter into a pact with the Devil in exchange for the power to manifest to the living, all the rules for governing the dead are thrown to the wind. In the resulting battle for Darcy’s immortal heart and soul, all Hell breaks loose on Earth, in the Here-After, and everywhere in between.
