A hotshot detective who was killed in the line of duty joins a supernatural police force that protects the living from the malevolent souls who have escaped judgment in this adaptation of the popular Dark Horse comic book. Nick Walker was a cop with a reputation for getting results when he was brutally gunned down during a violent raid.

The next thing Nick knew, he was sitting in the headquarters of the Rest in Peace Department — a supernatural police force tasked with arresting lost souls who are hiding out on Earth. His new partner Roy Pulsifer is a veteran sheriff with a knack for spotting a fugitive soul in disguise. Now Roy and Nick are about to face a menace that threatens to upset the ethereal balance between the physical world and the supernatural realm, and should they fail in maintaining that balance Earth will be flooded with a wave of very angry — and very powerful — lost souls.
