Death mentors his son in the family trade of collecting souls. The young reaper succeeds until his first solo assignment—retrieving a crash victim—when a friend asks him to perform CPR. He complies, revives the man, and earns his father’s wrath. Given 24 hours to deliver a corpse, he targets the man he saved, a struggling actor named Tom, who is opening night and adored by the dramatic Sarah. The mission forces Junior to confront mortality and come of age as a reaper.
