James Whiting is sure he's done everything he's supposed to do to get into heaven. So when he dies and finds himself in a black swimsuit on a sullen, gray beach, he is confused. His confusion mounts when another soul confirms that he is, in fact, in Hell. Determined he must be here to save his wayward daughter, he sets out in search of her, encountering volleyball, snorkeling, and even a concert, but with a twist of the damned.
As his pursuits to find his daughter wane, James starts to realize his fate may be personally rooted after all. The expanse of eternity stretches before him as a lonely strip between towering cliffs and an endless sea, and James recognizes the torment lies not in some external flame, but in the reflections of choices during his life that he made, or didn't make, that expose him for who he really is. As hope begins to fade into the misty horizon, he comes upon a familiar face who assures him that there may be a chance for redemption after all. What it requires, however, will push James' soul to its limits.
