When 16-year-old Lex continues to act out at school, her parents decide to have her spend the summer with her Uncle Mort in the small town of Croak, thinking that fresh air and hard work will do her good. Life there isn't what Lex expects, though, when she learns that her uncle isn't a farmer, but a Grim Reaper, and he thinks she is ready to learn the family trade. Ushering souls beyond is no easy task, but this telling gives a fun take of life, death, and what comes next.
