When her life comes to an abrupt end, George discovers that death is nothing like she thought it would be. Recruited to collect the souls of others as they die, she suddenly finds herself an unwilling participant in a line of work she never knew existed: Grim Reaping!
Set four years after the series ended, Der Waffle Haus has burned down and head reaper Rube has left due to retirement. The remaining reapers meet their new boss Cameron Kane, a "slick business man who couldn't care less about helping the newly dead." George reconnects with her sister Reggie when she has to reap the soul of Reggie's new (and secret) boyfriend, Hudson Hart. Daisy (now played by Sarah Wynter) is attracted to Cameron, who helps her get a role in After the Fall. Daisy, in a bid to gain the leading role, injures the lead actress and due to the stress turns to alcohol, even during the performances.
