Poppy London, meets her untimely end while on vacation with her beloved fiancé, William Carter. Reluctant to leave her bereaved partner behind, she forgoes the traditional crossing to the "other side" and ends up reuniting with Will as a spirit. But just as the two lovebirds begin adjusting to their new ghostly reality, a hellhound sent by the Underworld's Overlords to capture Poppy disrupts their sleepy South Carolina hometown. After narrowly escaping this hellish encounter, Poppy learns that her refusal to cross to the afterlife or the "MidWorld" as the spirits call it, has accidentally labeled her as a shade. An Evil spirit hunted by hell's demons until it is locked in the Under realm for eternity. To avoid this fate, Poppy must embark on a quest through the afterlife and fix her faux pas. Perhaps the only thing worse than being hunted by Hell's monsters though, is the mysterious yet undeniably handsome Demon Wrangler, Weston Drake, who is begrudgingly assigned as Poppy's bodyguard and guide.
Throughout her adventure, Poppy encounters eccentric spirits from history, narrowly outruns the Underworld's most devious monsters, and discovers that there might be more to the Demon Wrangler than just grouchiness and good looks. But to save herself and her loved ones, she will have to confront the darkest parts of her past, and trust that the Demon Wrangler can overcome the darkest parts of his. Can Poppy face her fears and save herself? Will the Demon Wrangler's mortal world mistakes force him to betray Poppy's trust? And can there really be life, or even love, after death?
