The year is 1997. A Silicon Valley startup registers the name Google.com; meanwhile, the breakout hit Titanic starts making serious box office waves. For Vance Chelan, a jaundiced media pro who is quite adept at playing the field, things have never looked so good.

Confident and capable, in total command of his television career, Vance happily straddles a romantic tightrope between each of the women in his life-until he gets a jolt for the ages. There's nothing like a funeral to set the old adrenaline on edge, especially when questions about the afterlife arise.

Now, confronted for the first time with his own immortality, Vance mounts a bizarre plan of redemption designed to ensure a ritzy place in Heaven. But the road to the pearly gates is strewn with devilish potholes.

Grappling for answers, the things he holds near and dear start slipping through his fingers. Then one night in Las Vegas, at an industry convention, he reignites feelings for a hard-charging anchorwoman, who demands a choice of epic proportions. What will his decision be?

One thing is certain: whatever it is, it will have eternal consequences.
