Logline: A soul collector bound by cold logic faces a cosmic glitch when a dying puppy greets him not with fear, but with a wagging tail.
Synopsis:
In the monochromatic world of the Afterlife Hub, Reaper 149 is a top-tier soul collector known for his surgical precision and lack of empathy. Accompanied by his rule-abiding Assistant, his existence is a never-ending cycle of ticking names off "The List."
Everything changes on a rainy Tuesday when 149 encounters a discarded cardboard box. Inside isn't a human soul meant for harvest, but a shivering, golden-furred puppy. When the creature licks his frozen hand, a spark of forbidden warmth ignites. Choosing to ignore his next high-priority target, 149 embarks on a rogue mission through the living city to find the puppy's owner. But as the clock ticks and "Soul Hunters" close in to correct his insubordination, 149 discovers that the puppy's fate is inextricably linked to the very soul he was ordered to take.
