The film serves as a continuation of the critically acclaimed television series Dead Like Me, which originally aired on Showtime from 2003 to 2004. The story follows the life of George Lass (portrayed by Ellen Muth), a young woman who died and became a grim reaper.

The movie takes place several years after the end of the TV series, and we see that George has been replaced by a new grim reaper named Cameron Kane (played by Callum Blue).
With the help of her fellow reapers, George must adjust to life after death and navigate the strange, surreal world of being a grim reaper.

Daisy was a terminally ill patient who was given a second chance at life thanks to a new experimental treatment. However, her newfound lease on life is short-lived, as she is killed in a tragic accident.
The reapers must also contend with a mysterious figure known as The Suit (played by Henry Ian Cusick), who seems to have his own agenda and is determined to disrupt the work of the grim reapers. George and her colleagues must confront The Suit and try to stop him from interfering with their duties.
