Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers who hunt supernatural beings, investigate a small town where no one has died in days. They discover that Death himself has gone on vacation, causing a rip in the natural order of life and death. This results in Reapers, who are the beings that escort souls to the afterlife, being hunted and killed.
The brothers team up with an old hunter friend named Pamela Barnes to try and find and talk to Death to convince him to put things back in order. In the meantime, they come across a reaper named Ajay who is willing to help them.
As the trio hunts for Death, they find out that a group of pagan gods who have been keeping themselves young by eating reaper hearts have captured and imprisoned him. They learn that the gods are planning to use Death's ring, which gives its wearer control over him, to kill anyone who dares to go against them.
After a series of battles and confrontations, Sam and Dean are able to free Death and avenge the reapers who were killed. However, Death warns them that the natural order of things cannot be tampered with, and that there will be consequences for their actions.
The episode ends with Death's ominous warning and Sam and Dean questioning whether their actions were worth the potential danger ahead.
