Synopsis: Journalist Sexton Furnival writes a suicide note to his ex-girlfriend, Sylvie, convinced that the world is heading to an inevitable end.

He falls while on top of a tipped rubbish dump and meets Death. They head back to her apartment where Death reveals herself and tells him it is her day off, though Sexton does not believe her. As he leaves Death's apartment, he bumps into Mad Hettie who asks for Death's help to find her soul.

After agreeing Death takes Sexton with her out on her day off and they go to a club, where they meet Sexton's roommate Billie, her girlfriend Amelia and their friend Jackie. While Sexton seems hung up on his ex-girlfriend he becomes interested in Jackie as she gets to know him.

As Sexton's friends are enjoying the club, unlike him, Sexton introduces Death as Didi and they meet the club owner Theo. Theo becomes interested in Didi and asks her to come upstairs with him, though she brings Sexton along. They realize it is a setup, as Theo has realized who Didi is as he had summoned Death to the club to bring back his girlfriend Natalie.

They try to talk to a distraught Theo, who ends up falling and injuring himself before being taken to a hospital. The next day, Didi buys a locket and asks Sexton to give it to Hettie. Didi suddenly dies after her day off and Hettie reveals that the locket contains her soul with it containing a picture of her daughter inside.

Once back at home, Sexton asks Jackie out. While Didi wakes up in Death's realm and tells Death she loves mortality and doesn't want it to end.
