After a separation, Manchester girl-about-town Kelly is about to rekindle her relationship with estranged husband John. All this is thrown off course when she's near-fatally attacked en route to their date. In an original take on the out-of-body experience, Kelly finds herself both in hospital and in a supernatural world between this one and the next, accompanied by a gatekeeper to heaven called Trev. She's forced to face up to the life she's led and to make a stark choice about her own future. On earth, as Kelly's body, watched over by feckless WPC Baker, goes through the rigours of surgery, her attacker is stalking the corridors of the hospital.
