Usually a hero's demise is a good indication that end of the story is near. That's not the case with Sleepeasy, as the chief protagonist's death is merely the beginning of one of the strangest road trips ever chronicled.
After passing away, Harry Briggs finds himself in another reality, which he slowly comes to realize must be the afterlife. Rather than heaven or hell or limbo, the hereafter seems to be what each individual makes of it, composed of the people and setting most important to that individual. It seems also that each person's afterlife is unique.
Breaking the mold, Harry becomes a distinct part of his deceased wife's reality. Already an anomaly, Harry creates further trouble when, pursuing his afterlife fantasy of becoming a private detective, he creates an unearthly serial killer so powerful that he is able to cross back into the "real" world, where he begins to fulfill his murderous destiny. Harry travels back to set things straight and subdue his creation.
