Second chances are something that are rarely given to humans, even more rarely when Death is the entity giving it to them. Yet, on an ordinary rainy day Death gives Eric Block, a desperate father who has buried his daughter Aurora just few days before, a unique opportunity: seven days of immortality in which to avenge her. The catch? When the seven days are over, he must join his daughter in the afterlife. Now the father shall unleash the wrath upon those responsible in the time he has left.

One shot.

Death is the loneliest state of existence, a fact that Boston Brand never stopped to consider...at least not until he died. But after an assassin's bullet cuts down the famed circus aerialist, Deadman learns the hard way what it's like to be truly alone and all he can do is pray that he would one day find love after death. Investigating an abandoned circus in the Wisconsin Northwoods, Deadman comes upon another ghost...the spirit of a female aerialist who was rumored to have been murdered by her husband, the owner of the circus. The two spirits fall in love...but even death can't protect her from her still-living husband's jealousy as he unleashes a horde of side show horrors to keep them apart. But that's only the tip of the supernatural iceberg and something even more sinister is under way.
