The story follows Sam and Molly, a young couple whose connection takes a shocking turn after Sam’s untimely death. Walking back to their apartment one night, they are mugged, leaving Sam murdered on a dark street. Trapped between two worlds, Sam refuses to leave Molly when he learns she is in grave danger.

Together, Sam and Oda Mae defy the laws of death in the hopes of saving and protecting Molly.
