Tagline
God always offers a choice. Only sometimes it doesn't seem much like a choice at all.
Overview
Walking the Earth as an undead spirit has Charlie Jackson in a quandary. Unable to interact with his family, Charlie feels he's been forsaken by God. Now, his ultimate goal is to get to heaven as soon as possible - but that's easier said than done. The battle between good and evil for Charlie's soul has begun, and salvation might only come via Carol Miller, a darkhunter who brings lost souls back to death.
