An impatient single Mom leaves her 9-year-old daughter, Whitney, with Death, carelessly mistaking the dark-cloaked, scythe carrying Reaper for her tardy babysitter. Whitney teaches Death about life's many marvels through violent video games, macaroni and cheese, and the magic of Sea Munkees. But when Whitney reveals some dark tendencies of her own, it's up to Death to lighten things up before returning to the grim duties that lie in wait.
