Ford and Neuland are paranormal mercenaries--one living, one undead; one kills the undead, the other kills the living.

Heading west to look for work and wait for the heat from their last job to cool down.

There Tilda, a young woman, hires them to track and kill a demon haunting a mansion in remote northern California for wealthy landowner, Shepherd Mansfield.
