Joe can see undead pets, thanks to a mysterious Egyptian amulet. When Frankfurter, a bossy sausage dog, appears after a fatal accident with a revolving door, he has one final task before he can pass over.

As Joe investigates the clues, he must also cope with a troublesome ghost dog, family drama and the danger of criminals closing in.
