Soul Searcher

Synopsis

Joe Fallow works nights as a street sweeper, hangs out in a café with his one and only friend, and is helplessly in love with waitress Heather. Then one night an ailing Grim Reaper comes to him with an offer - to be trained as his replacement and become the new face of Death. Joe is transformed into the scythe-wielding soul searcher, dispensing supernatural justice in the afterlife. But somewhere in town a force for evil grows - someone is breaking down the walls between Hell and Earth. Under the guidance of his mentor, and with a little help from best friend Gary and a mysterious bounty hunter, Joe must track down the villain and stop him before the Moat of Souls opens and chaos takes hold. But Joe can't let go of the life - and the girl - he left behind.
