Nothing in life is free. Turns out, nothing in the afterlife is, either. When recently-deceased Irene Dunphy decided to "follow the light," she thought she'd end up in Heaven or Hell and her journey would be over. Boy, was she wrong. She soon finds that "the other side" isn't a final destination but a kind of purgatory where billions of spirits are stuck, with no way to move forward or back. Even worse, deranged phantoms known as "Hungry Ghosts" stalk the dead, intent on destroying them. The only way out is for Irene to forget her life on Earth-including the boy who risked everything to help her cross over-which she's not about to do. As Irene desperately searches for an alternative, help unexpectedly comes in the unlikeliest of forms: a twelfth-century Spanish knight and a nineteenth-century American cowboy. Even more surprising, one offers a chance for redemption; the other, love. Unfortunately, she won't be able to have either if she can't find a way to escape the hellish limbo where they're all trapped.
