of getting a second chance on love and life, executed with wit and charming
characterization that shows strong potential at the box office..."

LOGLINE:
Though he’s young, rich and good-looking, businessman Alec Myers has to face a painful truth after his sudden accidental death -- he’s also been incredibly self-centered. On ‘the other side’, he’s paired with an improbable adversary: a highly unconventional guardian angel, a drag queen who’s directing a documentary about Alec. Just as he’s about to get a second chance at life, Alec's ex-wife donates his heart for transplant, kicking off a chain of intriguing obstacles as he rekindles a lost romance, discovers a forgotten talent and claims redemption in a daring act of courage.

"...strong premise...an original twist on the 2nd chance theme. An emotionally
satisfying ending that left me in a warm place. Appeals to a wide audience.
Well-paced. Plenty of obstacles. Tension builds and accelerates nicely
right up to the heart-thumping climax...with an unforgettable showdown
between the two leads."
