Description

George Mitchell is at crisis point. The second album is due and they have nothing. Lacking inspiration and drive, George is struggling... until an unlikely fan drops by, Death themself. But what happens to us when Death pops by for a chat? Will this prove to be an unlikely source of inspiration? Only time will tell. Checking In is the story of George and Death as they work together to create a seminal second album. Featuring live music throughout, Checking In looks at our mortality and the pressures we put on ourselves in a quest for perfection.
