Being hunted down by the acolytes of the Grim Reaper, these people live a life beyond their natural time on Earth, but they will see the danger of their unnatural existence. Deputized as grim reapers with a specific task, the boy and girl are now posessed and on a mission: track down the other survivors and take their Stones of Life.

If you're already living on borrowed time, death will find a way to track you down and fix the problem, especially when you're one of the Dust 8.
