Eddie is an old man who works at an amusement park - until he dies tragically trying to save a child. When he awakes in the afterlife, he find that heaven is not a destination; it's a place where five people you may or may not know explain your life. One by one, Eddie's five people reveal their connections to him on Earth, from childhood to old age, illuminating why he was born. From the author of Tuesdays with Morrie.
