Ned, the Pie Maker, makes pies and wakes the dead. But if he touches it again it dies. If he doesn't touch the resurrected life after 1 minute, another life dies, an equivalent exchange.
He owns the restaurant the Pie Hole. Olive Snook is a waitress who works for him. And Emerson Cod is a Private Investigator that uses Ned's skill to solve mysteries.
But then Ned is working on the case of his childhood sweetheart, a girl called Chuck.
