Tru Calling

Tru Davies (Eliza Dushku) may spend dreary night after dreary night working at the city morgue, but her depressing job is about to liven up a bit. When Tru starts regularly encountering corpses who appear to spring back to life and plead for help, she immediately finds herself frantically waking up at the beginning of the day that had just passed. She soon takes on the ritual responsibility of using these re-run days to stop the murders and suicides of the desperate dead people who come to her at work each night. That doesn't necessarily mean, however, that Tru can't also use these second chances to rectify any problems she might be having with her friends and family, including confidante Davis (Zach Galifianakis), older sister Meredith (Jessica Collins), best friend Lindsay (A.J. Cook), and former co-worker Gardez. As Tru juggles her supernatural responsibilities with a new potential love interest (Matthew Bomer), her pain-in-the-butt younger brother gradually becomes a loyal helper in the death-fixing business. That is, of course, until Jason Priestley comes aboard as the yin to Tru's yang, a Grim Reaper-like soul who believes in the order of the universe and that those who have died should stay dead.
