Charlie is a young woman with a difficult past and she makes the ultimate and devastating decision to leave the earth and every hurt and challenge behind. But Charlie still has time left and a life to return to on earth. When Charlie awakens after those last moments, she is greeted by Sonny, a guide in the Wait Station, a place where people go when they still have time and life left. Sonny tells Charlie she must meet with different people in this same wait station so that she may see the beauty in living again. However, not everything works out as hoped for some in the wait station and Charlie is skeptical of the hope Sonny has in her and the people she meets. Charlie feels a deeper and darker presence in the Wait Station in the form of Airium, the keeper and surveyor of the this in-between place. In the midst of all this chaos, the ultimate question is will Charlie return and make the most of her life?
