We all have things to do…until we die.
When you die, your ‘to do’ list gets cancelled - that is unless your corpse is prepared for burial by Meg Seabury.
For thirteen unremarkable years, Meg has embalmed and prepared corpses at the Peaceful Slumber Funeral Parlor, but when she prepares the corpse of an 82-year-old World War II veteran something extraordinary happens. Suddenly, she becomes acutely aware of an unfinished task that had been weighing heavily on the man’s mind and she feels compelled to see it through.
Her next client is a woman who died in a tragic car crash while driving to see her suicidal brother. Meg soon finds herself visiting the brother, determined to give him the will to live.
Subsequently, each new corpse Meg prepares means a new mission and she finds herself powerless to stop it. For Meg, it’s a bizarre, nightmarish curse until she realizes that she is the last hope for these souls to rest in peace. Only when she embalms the corpse of a convicted murderer bent on revenge does her, gift become a deadly threat...to her.
Detective Dave Steere is investigating night club owner Mike McMahon for racketeering. When McMahon turns up dead and the evidence points to Meg, Steere’s gut tells him something isn’t right. McMahon had plenty of enemies, but Steere can’t find any connection to Meg.
Now he has to figure out if he’s tracked down a murderer, a victim… or something that he can’t explain.
