Plot
While battling the absurdity of telephone customer service, Liz is unexpectedly transferred to the Afterlife. There, she discovers it’s just as bureaucratic, frustrating, and illogical as Earth. Now, stuck between death and hold music, Liz must confront her own mortality, figure out what really matters, and find a way to navigate the red tape of the beyond… if she ever wants to return to the land of the living. But through doing so, she soon realizes that much like her current situation, she’s been putting the most important things in life on hold.
