A dead father. His son in danger. Daniel Johnson finds himself struggling through the afterlife to make contact with his living son, to come to his aid one last time. After Daniel rescues a dead nerd called Victor in the afterlife version of his local pub, he discovers that Victor suffered from multiple personality disorder in life. Now his alternate personalities, characters from a fantasy role-playing game, have found their way into the afterlife. Daniel, accompanied by his spirit guide and an outcast angel, joins forces with this odd cast of fugitives to navigate the menaces of the bewildering realms of the dead in which he now finds himself. His son Daedalus and his friends face their own perils thanks to the mysterious and often hilarious, machinations of the sinister Magister and his followers; the inept and mostly evil servants of the Infernal Theocracy. In a world they once thought familiar, but now find populated by dark angels, monsters, faerie and magical doorways, help is at hand from the angelic Melody Summer, the school counsellor, but is she as angelic as she seems...?
