SYNOPSIS: Jessie was looking forward to her future, but her plans (and her life) are cut short when she finds herself in a graveyard with some long-dead relatives. Her Aunt Tilly and her Uncle Bill (and an odd distant cousin named Mo) encourage her to move on to whatever is “beyond,” though no one is quite certain what might be there. Jessie is just on the point of moving on despite her regret at never getting a chance to really help others when she realizes she might have one last opportunity. After all, Aunt Tilly and Uncle Bill have been helping their own loved ones move on for a long time, and if Jessie stays behind to guide the others, they might be able to go into the beyond at last.
