In an opening sequence set in a church, we witness a courageous English journalist, Joe Strombel, as he is eulogized by friends and colleagues. They gather at a bar afterward, raising a toast in his memory, contemplating where he might be now. Suddenly, we find ourselves aboard the barge that ferries the recently deceased to their eternal resting place. Here, Joe Strombel (portrayed by Ian McShane) tries to bribe the ferryman, initiating a conversation with another spirit, Jane Cook, the former secretary of Peter Lyman (played by Hugh Jackman), who is suspected to be linked to a notorious murder spree.
