This place is a broken second chance, with the promise of eternity; a promise that is always out of reach.

After his sister runs away from home, Aaron Mort tries to follow her and is killed by a truck at age 15. He wakes up in Purgatory, a soul-based society run by districts and generals. He thinks this is just another chance, but now his soul lives in poverty--until one day he chances upon a mysterious girl, and suddenly he's approached by a Tower Official spouting nonsense about prophecies and power beyond his reach.

But how can he be the chosen one? He's just some kid who died too early. Or is he?
