With Peaceful Repose Cemetery, Drew Slocombe is determined to revolutionise the entire death industry and make cheap, ecologically sound burials a popular choice. Unfortunately, Drew's gravedigger has just discovered that the body of an elderly woman has been occupying the field for months before Drew opened for business and the police don't appear to be particularly concerned. But for Drew things don't add up - even if the woman died a natural death, someone was obviously responsible for burying her.
The mystery deepens when Genevieve Slater turns up at Drew's door. She wants to hire Drew to prove that the body is that of her missing mother. Drew realises helping her might get him in trouble with the law, but for a man looking to escape both money worries and marriage problems, Genevieve proves impossible to resist.
