She was going to graduate from college and get her dream job, but her ambitions came to an abrupt halt when she was killed by a drunk driver. Now, Jacqueline has a new job. The pay is terrible and she doesn't get benefits or vacation time, but it's an important job. Jacqueline is one of Heaven's newly recruited reapers. For the most part, she's content with her work. She would have spent the rest of eternity cooperating with the system if it hadn't been for the death of seven-year-old James Abbot. Something went wrong with James' death. Where did his soul go? As his reaper, Jacqueline feels like it's her responsibility to make sure his soul is safely delivered to Heaven, but the more questions she asks, the less her superiors want to reveal. Heaven is keeping secrets and Jacqueline's quest for answers is leading her down a dangerous path. What happens when the faithful are given a reason to revolt?
