A darkly comedic fantasy romance about a dead struggling actor navigating supernatural dating in purgatory, balancing cynical humor with genuine emotional stakes about finding connection.

Michael, a struggling actor, dies right after a bad breakup. He finds himself awakening in a very bright room with a very strange lady and learns that he is in singles Purgatory, where he must find his soul mate in order to cross over to the other side. With limited time to find true love among other recently deceased single New Yorkers, Michael must navigate the new customs of a ghostly dating life... as if dating in life wasn't hard enough already.
