  You have been recruited to be a member of a special program at the National Security Agency.  You were chosen from around the federal government due to your skills, proven performance, and the fact that you had a near death experience.
  
  Now you die for a living.
  
  You are placed in a near-death state using cryogenics and drugs, freeing your spirit to enter the land of the dead and gain access to secrets beyond the reach of traditional intelligence capabilities.
  
  Now you straddle the line between worlds and try to maintain a semblance of a life even as the land of the dead bleeds into it.  How long will you be able to hold on before you've gone too far?
