Spoilers ahead
A tight-knit group of reapers, charged with guiding the souls of the dying, finds its routine upended when their shared retreat, Der Waffle Haus, goes up in flames and their boss vanishes, leaving a sudden power vacuum behind. The void is filled by a new, smooth-talking leader, Cameron Kane, a man who died in the World Trade Center collapse on September 11, 2001, and who brings a flashy, corporate edge to the job. Kane arrives with slick efficiency, outfitting the team with color-coded smartphones and lavish accommodations that feel more like a corporate perk than a grim duty. ” This belief, voiced in practical terms, begins to loosen the moral grip of their traditional responsibilities.
