Jack Duffy is the exemplification of average. He lives a normal life with a less than desirable job. He's a distracted husband, living in a ordinary apartment, and is married to an extraordinary wife. That’s how he would explain it. At the end of an unusually bad day, Jack's life is turned upside down when he witnesses something truly harrowing. The only thing that can catch him from falling is the soul collector. His primary concern: Will he be allowed to keep his soul, or will he have to give it back?

Jack Duffy's first soul to gather as a new collector is that of his cheating wife. Unfortunately, his burden is far more difficult than anticipated, as he has to suffer through the experiences of her final hours of existence. Despite her adulterous ways, Jack endures, and has a surprising revelation in her final moments of life.

With just six weeks into his new profession, Jack breaks all the rules. His next soul to collect is that of Noah Clayton, a loyal father, a passionate husband, a noble man all around. Jack discovers that Noah is living the life he'd always dreamed of. Jack comes to a crossroads: collect Noah's soul with no questions asked, or take matters into his own hands, facing grave consequences for his own, rebellious actions.

Jack struggles with the rules set upon him by the Sentinel. His initial reaction is to rebel, but to what length? Hauser, Jack's trainer in the afterlife works to bring balance and meaning to their profession, as he attempts to guide him back to reality. Jack will have to decide: continue with his eternal commitment, or forfeit the tremendous power that has been bestowed upon him.

Jack's torment in the afterlife continues on, mercilessly. His current assignment eerily mirrors several aspects of his own past life, leaving him to question his role for the Sentinel once again. After a humorous attempt to change the fate of a loving couple, Jack is witness to a truly horrific act that he nor Hauser can prevent. The time has come for Jack to confront those in the high council, but will they be as forgiving for his indiscretions as his trainer has been?

Jack Duffy's highly anticipated meeting with the high council is upon him. With the assistance of a long lost friend, Jack scrambles to recreate the last seventy-two hours that have been mysteriously removed from his memory. With each flip of the coin, he discovers much more about Hauser, himself, and the Sentinel. In the end, Jack learns that even in the afterlife, not everything is fair. Jack must once again decide what is right for the soul that he's sent to collect, and how it directly relates to his own fate.
