A darkly comedic fantasy about obsession and fame that uses the afterlife as a surreal stage to explore mortality, celebrity, and the strange bonds forged between a killer and his victim.

After several attempts to approach film star Cesar Valentin, writer Brian Smith takes matters into his own hands, shooting the actor in front of hundreds of fans, only to be killed himself in the ensuing chaos. Achieving instant notoriety, Smith transcends with Valentin to a luxury hotel in the afterlife, a strange new world beyond the veil of mortality inhabited exclusively by dead celebrities.
