In this quirky, supernatural investigative scripted thriller based on the acclaimed book of the same name, Bentley Hawthorne lives a solitary and mysterious life in an old mansion with his wry, long-suffering butler Pym. Pym and Bentley's childhood friend and spitfire journalist Gwendolyn Marks don't understand why Bentley insists on a path of isolation, but that's because they don't know his secret: the seemingly-gentle Bentley is actually a chosen servant of Death tasked with avenging victims who have been killed before their time.
