Paul Olson is the new mortician in Clifton Heights, New York. After his studies and internships, he feels confident that he's prepared to fill the shoes of his predecessor, Henry Atkins, who is finally retiring. What he's not prepared for, however, is Clifton Heights itself. A strange little town where there's more to everything than meets the eye, and the dead don't rest easy. Here, Paul Olson will learn what it really means to be the caretaker of the dead.
