Summary: Celestine Prophecy Meets Silence of the Lambs
Review: The characters are as follows: an angry psychic, a melancholy serial killer, a beautiful but troubled female lawyer, a boisterous policeman, a caring nurse, an adolescent ghost, a wise secretary, an incognito hooker, and a very busy specialty foods caterer. Oh, there is a brief cameo by an angel.

Bek, a bank executive, kills himself after the affair he was having with his boss's wife ends badly. He is brought back after dying and finds that he has the ability to read things about people he could have no way of knowing. Because his life was empty and his death wasn't much better, Bek decides to use his new gift to bring torment to as many people as possible as a way to get back at God. He opens an office and gives tarot readings. The police use him to track a serial killer, but Bek instead chooses to help the killer. The killer befriends Bek and teaches him inadvertently that all actions have consequences. Bek learns that everyone is in fact interconnected, and that he has actually caused his own anguish. Bek then tries as much as he can to correct the harm he has done and discovers more than he ever expected about how the universe works.
