The American West, 1876. Roycephus Pulsipher, the crusty Sheriff of Horseshoe town, finds himself on the wrong end of a gun after a deadly encounter with the murderous Samuels gang. And just like that, Roy becomes an agent in the Rest In Peace Department, ages before the events of
R.I.P.D. (2013). When Roy returns to Earth to enforce the afterlife's laws and keep the planet free from the Deados--wayward souls that escape judgment--he unearths a sinister plan: evil forces are determined to open a portal between Hell and Earth. Can R.I.P.D. rookie officer Roy prevent the rise of the damned?
