And nearly three hundred years later, it's still the same. Which is why newcomer Bastian Balthazar decides to stay on. Except everything changes when he meets Elena Ratcliffe - an artist who can't stop her eyes from welling up with tears as she paints a portrait of death and decay. But what's more interesting than that is how they agree to meet every night in the cemetery, finally finding something to connect them after centuries of loneliness

A city that is set up to help the dying, hospice, with a few rules and a fair amount of resources. A nice change from the sanitized and over-controlled hospital ward.
