Dunno what Bleach is all about? Well, here I shall try to explain it all.
Basically, our setting on Earth is KaraKura town. Just like every other town, people die. These people's souls are 'Plus' souls, good souls.
These souls have a Chain of Fate. This slowly erodes over time. When that happens, the soul turns into a Hollow, a creature which goes around eating other souls, never allowing them to move on.
Shinigami (Soul Reapers, Death Gods) have the job of stopping this by sending Plus souls to Soul Society by bumping them on the head with the hilt of the Zanpakutou, before they turn into Hollows. With Hollows, they slay these by dealing a blow to the back of the neck, puryfying them.
Now, before I move on, I want to explain two things. Soul Society is a place that is similar to all kinds of paradise, but it is split into two areas. Rukongai, the place where normal souls live. And Seireitei, the place where Shinigami live.
Zanpakutous are the weapon that shinigami use.
Now, by purifying a Hollow, that hollow's sins after death are forgiven and they can go on to Soul Society. However, sins before death, such as murder, mean that the soul goes to Hell, via the Gates of Hell.
Aside from Shinigami, there are also others, like Bounto, Quincy etc. I can't be bothered to explain them, since we'd be here all day.
So here's a link to Wikipedia's Bleach page ^^
