Beatrix Walker has a gift, an unusual sixth-sense telling her when something may just meet its inevitable doom. But she quickly finds out that knowing and informing are two entirely different things, especially when she is led to believe that appearances are everything. When speaking out is not an option, she takes matters into her own hands and breaks the rules of Fate. As breaking any sort of rules has its consequences, she ends up serving a sentence of seven years doing "community service" to maintain the balance of Fate, working as a grim reaper under the fearsome employment of Death itself.
