Del Farmer works cases unlike any other detective. While most investigators gather evidence, he collects the souls of people who just died. His newest acquisition is Brad Larsen, a dead man who might help Farmer take down The Association, his old enemy. But Larsen refuses to cooperate. An FBI agent who moves through time keeps interfering with Farmer's work. A strange couple wants him dead. Meanwhile, Farmer takes a simple babysitting job to pay his rent. This routine assignment pulls him into a brutal world of lies, broken identities, and violence in cheap apartments. The suspects in his murder case exist only in his mind. Nothing goes as planned for this unusual private eye.
