Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. Eddie awakens in the Afterlife, where he learns that Heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it.
