When he's killed at a young age in a car accident, the unnamed
narrator enters the spirit world and is surprised to learn that the
angels want him to join their ranks. Upon arriving in Heaven, he
discovers an idealized world of comfort, but the euphoria doesn't
last, as he's forced to return to the rigors of school in an
angel-training course. Soon he discovers that the many
disappointments of his life have left him with a bitter disdain for
all of mankind, and that an angel's existence might not be for
him.
Then he befriends Marley, a fellow angel-trainee. After a life of
tragedy and addiction ending in overdose, she doesn't feel worthy
of receiving the halo herself. But amidst a surreal world of
asexual attraction, guardian spirits who curse like truck drivers,
and a supreme being who might possibly enjoy waiting diner tables,
the two start to help each other overcome their metaphysical and
personal distress. It seems in death, you might learn there's more
to you than you ever knew in life.
