Phiona Audie, aka Ripley, has her whole life ahead of her, or so she thinks. She's about to enter college, starts a relationship, and experiences her first concert at Summerfest. But before all the fun, Ripley and her friends make a quick detour to eat at their favorite café, but this stop sets off a chain of events and puts a halt to everything. Because one minute Ripley's alive and the next, she's not. Ripley soon finds herself in the Afterlife with four others who call themselves Guiders – the deceased who guide murdered and suicidal souls, and to her surprise she is the new trainee. Ripley must learn the ropes on how to become a Guider, but loses her first assigned soul. Her group sets off to fix Ripley's mishap, but along the way creates a ripple effect that uncover a string of secrets, including the fact that Ripley's death may not have been an accident after all.
