Oat, a cold and guarded mortician, prefers the dead because they never lie, leave, or ask for more than he can give.
Then one stormy night, a corpse wakes up on his preparation table.
Boat is tall, handsome, dangerous, and very much dead - except he can touch Oat, and Oat alone. With no memory of who killed him, only flashes of rain, blood, a river, and a crying child, Boat pulls Oat into a mystery involving stolen identities, corrupted funeral rites, and a hidden network that uses death to erase the living.
As they investigate, their banter turns into trust, trust into longing, and longing into something neither of them is ready to name.
But the closer Boat gets to the truth, the more Oat begins to remember a forgotten night from his childhood - and the terrible possibility that Boat may have died saving him once before.
