Since childhood, homicide detective Michael Bennett has been cursed with the ability to converse with the 'immediate dead'. This ability has given him access to the most important witness at every murder scene; the victim. Nicknamed The Reaper by his colleagues, and isolated by his gift, Bennett prefers to work alone. When Sandy Cooper becomes the newest in a long string of partners assigned to Bennett, she quickly realizes there's something very different about him. When doctors begin dying in brutal fashion, the unlikely partners must overcome not only their differences, but their pasts to stop a killer out for revenge.
