The Mum Job

Calum Jones doesn’t begin his afterlife under the best circumstances. He wakes up in a dull waiting room, passing the time. Just as he starts to worry that this is all there is, he’s brought to the Afterlife Agency—a job center where the deceased are assigned to help the living with their daily struggles. When Calum is sent on his first assignment, things quickly go awry. What should have been a straightforward task turns chaotic, messy, and nothing like what he expected. Against all odds, and in defiance of agency protocol, he forms a deep connection with one of his charges, triggering a series of events that shakes the very foundations of the afterlife. Torn between following the rules and his desire to help his loved ones, he embarks on a dangerous mission, defying the laws of life—and everything beyond.
