Larry is a simple man who just wants his normal boring day-to-day life back, but that's not his destiny. Minding his own business, working his normal 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM job and paying his bills, he is confronted with a family curse and a gift on the day of the dead. After near death experiences, he discovers his one true talent and gift of foretelling someone's oncoming death. He is now in a rush to save himself and others before time runs out. He loses what friends he has and his new found talent does not go unnoticed by many. Death itself takes notice and is after him, a local hard nose cop thinks he is murdering people in their midsized town, and his wife just thinks he's weird and needs some good therapy that will stop all of Larry's insanity. He must deal with all of this while trying to get out of his newly discovered undesirable family business.
