Nick Graves, professional mourner and former gunslinger, crosses paths with his former partner, a dark shadow from the past. Nick Graves has had a life full of more death than any one man can handle. For most of his adult life, Graves has dealt death as well--as an outlaw, running with some of the most feared bands of gunslingers the west has ever seen. But now he's ready to turn his back on his dark past, and live out his existence by retuning to the family business as a mourner--a man paid to see to the details of funerals and wakes.
