What happens when the ultimate force of the universe decides to take a day off? Once every hundred years, Death, the older sister of the Sandman, takes on mortal flesh and walks among humans. Her goal is simple: to experience the world exactly as we do, to taste life, and to truly understand the high cost of living. During her brief twenty-four hours on Earth, she encounters a suicidal teenager, a brilliant but troubled musician, and a host of ordinary people struggling with their own quiet tragedies. This poignant, beautifully crafted graphic novel offers a deeply moving look at mortality, finding beauty in the fleeting moments of human existence, and discovering hope in the darkest of places.
