In a tale of passion and sacrifice, Peter and Faye discover that sometimes even death may yield to the power of love.

In the realm between life and death, Grim Reaper Peter Matherson dutifully guides souls to their rest. However, when he's ordered to return to his hometown of Foxford and claim the soul of a young woman from his past, his job doesn't seem quite so simple. How can he strike a balance between following orders and following his heart?

For Faye Parker, a talented baker trapped in an unhappy and controlling marriage, the only place she can regain some independence is the kitchen. In the end, it's a new and unexpected friendship that gives her the confidence to start life anew - she just never anticipated that Peter would play such a vital role in her journey of self-discovery. As their friendship blossoms, love starts to take root.

With his deadline closing in, Peter must choose: save his love, or succumb to duty. Defying death may save her, but his punishment would mean never seeing her again, and an eternity in the darkness of purgatory. Is sacrificing his soul worth saving hers.
