On the day of his execution the guardsman Crayne wakes up in a dungeon cell without any memory of his previous life. A little later he is beheaded and his head is stolen by an ominous woman.

From now on Crayne has to live his life as an undead, caught between the world of this world and the realm of the goddess of the dead Arvo.
