Will spends his days in a remote outpost watching the live point of view on TV of people going about their lives, until one subject perishes, leaving a vacancy for a new life on earth. Soon, several candidates —unborn souls— arrive at Will`s to undergo tests determining their fitness, facing oblivion when they are deemed unsuitable. But Will soon faces his own existential challenge in the form of free-spirited Emma, a candidate who is not like the others, forcing him to turn within and reckon with his own tumultuous past.
