They are dying to live again.
Opal, Obsidian, Ruby and Amber decided to give up on life. The four of them are now trapped navigating an endless river filled the souls of those who killed themselves, just like them, afraid of ever falling down.
Desperate of living again, they are presented with a choice: They either remain in the river waiting for their natural reincarnation, if they don't fall first, or fight with others for a second chance.
What they don't know is who the others are and that each one will work with an expert in the art of killing.

Her hands were slapped over her mouth to muffle any noise that escaped her quivering lips. She wasn't sure how long she was in that pantry but couldn't come out until she was beyond certain that they had left. For a moment, she started to have hope that maybe they wouldn't be able to find her, but a voice spoke up, and fear flooded in once again. "You cleared out the upstairs, too, right?" "Yeah." Another voice responded. There was a slight pause, "Hmm. Then where is that heartbeat coming from, I wonder." His voice had a sickening amusement to it, and her heart rate uncontrollably spiked with the adrenaline pumped through her veins. Was he talking about her? The thought that he could hear her heartbeat was crazy. It just wasn't humanly possible. Footsteps grew closer to the kitchen. Somehow, they had found her. She said one last prayer and goodbye to her life as the pantry opened. "Boo." The man yelled, peering in at her. She was frozen. There was nothing more she could do. She was going to die. "Little Birdy," he stretched out his hand, "come out to play."Complete
