　　每一个人的成长经历往往是艰苦的，特别是当您面对死亡之时。
　　对于女主角George Lass，生活是乏味的，每日只是做着一些沉闷的工作，在家亦只能够感到少少的温暖，莫非这个便是命运？但世事往往会令人惊喜，George在她新上任的工作中遇到意外而身亡，随后更被选中成为在其它人临死时出现，把灵魂带走的死神 (Grim Reaper)。
　　从此，她便以一个全新的身份，与其它一同被选中的死神一起，执行这个非常刺激的任务。虽然死神的工作对George 而言很有新鲜感，但她却需要时间去适应这个全新的生活，以及习惯面对着弱小的生命死亡但却无能为力。

　　A group of aliens has come to Earth to learn about its population, customs, etc. To avoid detection, they have taken on human form which gives them human emotions, physical needs etc. WITHOUT the understanding of what they mean or the inhibitions normally present in humans. Their leader takes the position of a college professor, their military expert as his sister, their intelligence expert, supposedly oldest of group takes form of his teenage son. The uninhibited reactions turn everyday events into unusual situations.

　　Fran has had a pen pal named Lenny since the first grade. Fran and Lenny, through their letters, get along famously, almost like boyfriend/girlfriend. They agreed early on never to exchange photographs, but Lenny, coming to New York, wants to meet Fran in person. Maxwell is anxious to meet Lenny as he feels he's in competition with Lenny. Fran, on the other hand, is nervous to meet Lenny as she has exaggerated who "Fran Fine" is in her letters. But Fran agrees to meet Lenny at the Russian Tea Room, each identifying the other by the red rose worn on their lapels. Again, Maxwell is anxious to see Lenny, and accompanies Fran to the Russian Tea Room and stays with her until Lenny shows up. Fran and Maxwell are having a nice enough "date" of their own while they wait for Lenny, so nice that Fran almost doesn't care if Lenny shows up or not.
