Dreaming of love and adventure, Lady Death falls for the smell of a deceased Grandfather's feet. Instead of taking the dead man to the afterlife, she resides with him and his Family, hoping for affection.
Lady Death has been practicing her profession for ages and is bored. Between assignments of cutting souls, she binge-watches love series, dreaming of real affection. Her life changes when she falls for the scent of a dead Grandfather’s feet, whom she should escort to the afterlife. Instead, Death makes a deal with the Family: she won’t take him if they let her stay. She hopes to win his heart, though it still belongs to his deceased wife. Living with the Family proves difficult. The World of the Living is full of rules beyond her understanding, and her soap opera knowledge isn’t enough. The Malfunction Family also has its struggles: Mom still seeks approval from her critical Father while feeling she’s failing her teenage daughter, Nicoleta. In this strained arrangement, Lady Death and the Family try to make the most of Grandpa's time on Earth, but their efforts often fall short.
