A whimsical animated short that uses the Grim Reaper's competitive ambitions at a bike race to deliver a heartfelt lesson about meaning beyond winning.

Grim desperately needs one more soul to win his work competition, but his last scheduled collection at a rigorous bike race turns his world upside-down. At the finish line, he learns that life is not always about the trophy at the end of the race.
