Just beyond the veil, just off this mortal coil, Charon the River Guide ferries dead souls across the River Styx. He collects payment for his services (cash only) and wends his way back across the water. After eons of toiling away at his post, however, Charon craves a change. He applies for the Hades Employee Development and Enrichment Program and thus begins his odyssey through miles of red tape, mountains of mid-level minutiae, and endless hours of pencil pushing. As he delves further and further behind the curtain, Charon must also maintain his own duties of ferrying dead souls across the River Styx, a job with which he grows increasingly jaded with each passing day. As Charon embarks on his desperate quest for meaning, Hades, CEO of All Things Under the Earth, must work tirelessly to appease his ever-overseeing Board Above. With Hades’ job and Charon’s sanity on the line, lowly laborer and hotshot CEO steadily circle the great shower drain of corporate middle management.
