Travis lives an unassuming life with his cat in a small, gray town. He also happens to be the cosmic force of Death, visiting people in their final days and hours of life before shepherding them into whatever happens next. He doesn't judge them, doesn't feel emotion at their passing, and never tries to change anyone's fate... until he meets Dalia, a midwife who lives across the hall with her boisterous eight-year-old daughter, Layla. Unable to maintain his distance for the first time, Travis allows this small family to embrace him, but it will be at a cost: to learn what it is to truly live is also to discover what is irrevocably lost in death.
