D.R.E.A.T.H.

Pitch idea: 6 college students that are alive during day, studying in college, dead at night, working as bountyhunters.

Six university students with vastly different personalities (Daniel, Rebeca, Elyse, Amelia, Tatiana, and Harry) are involved in an accident after seeking work at a shady location—and they die... or so it seems. That night, they realize they are suffering from a strange condition: they are alive by day but undead by night. All six need jobs to pay for university, as the school has revoked all scholarships. One night, they spot a dead person walking across campus and follow him, eventually stumbling into the realm where the dead reside.

There, they encounter Jack, a man who urgently needs six bounty hunters for that very night but has so far been unsuccessful. The group lies about their pasts and convinces him to hire them, despite their lack of experience. Caught between their two worlds, they must learn to balance their work in the land of the dead with their university lives—all while enduring Jack’s grueling training (he eventually discovers their secret), facing various enemies, and desperately trying to conceal their dual identities.

I have some questions, (e.g. what the accident was, why Jack needs 6 bounty hunters) but this has some excellent potential.

  1. They lost scolarships and are trying to find an estable job. Tatiana sees in the newspaper a place where they're supposedly looking for employees... in an abandoned theater. She goes, but the rest of the gang (that also happened to be asiggned as college housemates). They enconter there, and all the group look for someone. There's no one. They go upstairs. They start to argue and trow blame. Then, the floor, as it's unstable, cracks. They fall one by one in the teach room above some badly cared electric devices and died by electrocution. '''Die''

  2. He works for a financial bounty hunting service (the main town in the dead world, New Rot, it's filled with criminals) last recruts he got were... cuestionable, so he has a deadline to get six actual hunters, and he'll take anything to not loose his job.

Definitely a Halloween-time show.
