Detective Roger Mortis is killed in action while investigating a string of mysterious robberies: until he's brought back from the dead with a chemical company's secret re-animation technology. Now he has twelve hours to solve the case of his own death before he dies: And stays dead.

This supernatural police procedural trades traditional noir tropes for a frantic, ticking-clock race against biological expiration. When a detective returns from the grave via experimental chemistry, he must crack his own murder case before his temporary life force runs out.
