Warren is dead! He knows this as a fact. While he expected to be wearing wings or running around with a pitchfork in hand, Warren discovered his afterlife isn't what he thought. It's an eerie, mixed-up purgatory where he must survive inside of a film world made up of obscure movies from the past.

Worse, Warren finds that his lot in this world is to wake inside the body of someone who will be the upcoming murder victim. The dead man carries no memories of the character and must piece together his identity. His first goal is to survive his murder. His second goal is to get out of this purgatory world that blends the hard-boiled time of gangsters, private detectives, and corrupt cops wrapped up with murder.
