Angus Mooney, a man who has been tragically murdered and cut off in the prime of his life, finds himself in a state of despair and humiliation. He never believed in an afterlife, and now he is left with more questions than answers. He deeply misses his audacious and fiery wife, Gracie, who is expecting their first child.

However, there is a glimmer of hope as Angus discovers a way to observe his murderer's actions and track Gracie's well-being. The only downside is that Gracie and his murderer are growing uncomfortably close, and a worldwide pandemic is about to make the afterlife a very crowded place.
