When you die, your `to do¿ list gets cancelled. That is unless your corpse is prepared for burial by Meg Seabury. For thirteen unremarkable years, Meg embalmed and prepared corpses at Peaceful Slumber Funeral Parlor, but when she prepares the corpse of an 82-year-old World War II veteran something extraordinary happens. Suddenly, she becomes acutely aware of an unfinished task that had been weighing heavily on the dead man¿s mind and feels compelled to finish it. From this point on, each new corpse brings with it a new mission and she is powerless to stop it. To Meg, it¿s a bizarre, nightmarish curse until she realizes that she is the last hope for these souls to rest in peace. When Meg comes in contact with the corpse of a convicted murderer bent on revenge, Meg's own life is now in jeopardy. Detective Dave Steere is investigating night club owner Mike McMahon for racketeering. When McMahon is murdered and the evidence points to Meg, Steere¿s gut tells him there's more here than meets the eye. McMahon had plenty of enemies, but Steere can¿t find any connection to Meg. Now Steere has to figure out if he has tracked down a murderer, a victim¿ or something he can¿t explain.
