Detective Bobby Hayes stole some pieces of gold from busting a drug deal along with his friend from the police Nick Walker. Nick expresses doubts and regrets over this to Hayes. Hayes tries to reason with Nick saying that he should use the gold to start a new life with his wife Julie. They were both called to arrive at shootout that takes place at a meth lab in a warehouse.

The two police officers arrive and fight the criminals. Hayes later points a gun at Nick and shot him, killing Nick and made him plummet down from the rail. Hayes later pins the murder on a criminal from the shootout.

Nick Walker was recruited into the R.I.P.D. in the afterlife and was assigned to a partner Roy Pulsipher. It turns out that five years ago Bobby became a Deado when a junkie shot him for taking cocaine and bribes. When Bobby is taken into the RIPD headquarters he and some other Deados' steal the gold that is needed to build the staff of Jericho by unleashing a sphere-like object that slows-down the officers but allows Bobby and the Deados' to be unaffected. Bobby kidnaps Nick's wife Julie and plans to use her as a human sacrifice using the Staff of Jericho where he reveals himself as a monstrous ghost. Nick kills him and avenges his own death.
