An Independent Comedy For The Whole Family! (if your family are literal monsters)
Sandra Marquez and Lance Bradshaw are ghosts, trapped in purgatory for living mostly terrible lives on Earth. Plagued daily by Bartholomew, a third-rate demon sent to entice them into joining team Beelzebub, their current situation isn’t what you’d call “great.” That is, until Daphne Smalls, architect and running enthusiast, catches Lance’s eye with her recent bout of onset sadness.
Through his keen powers of observation (because he can’t interact with her any other way), Lance deduces that Daphne’s sister, Claire, has gone missing. It’s then that he concocts a plan to help the woman he thinks he may just be in love with while getting himself and his best friend, Sandy, a golden ticket out of purgatory and directly into heaven.
The only problem? There are several problems. Too many to write out in fact, but Lance and Sandy put their heads together and enlist Bart (without him knowing) to use the forces of evil to do good. Sorta. What follows is a cavalcade of 1920s gumshoe troupes (shakedowns, fast-talking, and wearing trench coats at all hours of the day), lies told with the best of intentions, and Daphne finding out about those lies to disastrous effect.
With all hope lost and everyone sad, Lance attempts to make things right, but things don’t necessarily go as planned… especially once heaven gets involved.
