A darkly comic road-trip romance through purgatory that uses the surreal afterlife as a vehicle for exploring grief, connection, and the search for meaning after loss.

Zia, distraught over breaking up with his girlfriend, decides to end it all. Unfortunately, he discovers that there is no real ending, only a run-down afterlife that is strikingly similar to his old one, just a bit worse. Discovering that his ex-girlfriend has also "offed" herself, he sets out on a road trip to find her.
