    An unknown killer is responsible for the death of newly minted lovers; Phil and Lillian.

    One minute they're celebrating the possibility of a long life together, the next they're contemplating eternity in the hospital where they die.Shenanigans ensue as they try to fit in with post-death society. What are the norms, who makes the rules and who can they ask about being taken to the leader?It's an adventure with many unexpected twists; but through it all, at least they have each others' backs.

    Updated with a new outtake.
