Immortal birthdays are the worst. Especially when your son gifts you a Voldemort meme in a party hat and calls it love.

Meet Blake—aka Mortimer, aka the King of the Reapers, aka the guy who’s been 25 for a thousand years and still can’t catch a break. It’s his 1023rd birthday, and all he wants is peace, paperwork, and Coldplay. Instead, he gets undead family drama, time travel trauma, and coworkers who think he’s ancient Rome’s last surviving citizen.

Between dodging zombie granddads, managing his own soul (who moonlights as a psychotic reaper), and surviving the world's most passive-aggressive birthday celebration, Blake proves that immortality is just eternal middle management.

🪦 Tune in for magical dysfunction, dry sarcasm, and the kind of existential comedy that only comes with being older than dirt but still stuck in the office
