 Charlie Bergman, collector of souls and proud cat owner, is a bit clumsy. His potent "Touch of Death" has accidentally killed a few too many and unbalanced the universe to the brink of self destruction. Fired from his Reaping Post and sentenced to be incinerated, Charlie must escape the UnderWorld in order to save lives up Topside and re-balance the supernatural energy of the world. All the while he must battle Buck - the Evil Spanish Reaper - for the hand of the beautiful zombie Phoenix, his true love.
