Oz, an employee of The Department of Creative Death and Ironic Punishment, is mostly content doling out death from his ancient typewriter, until he wins the office lottery. The prize? A new assignment - to return to the world of the living as a Reaper. He is given a body and a second chance at life, but after being forced to reap a childhood friend, Oz begins to wonder if being a Reaper is really a prize or a punishment.
