16-year-old Nicole, high school drama queen (on the stage and off), dies and finds herself on Substation Fifteen, an afterlife campus for teenage suicides. She can't, for the life of her, remember how she died, but she's sure it wasn't by her own hand. In thirty days Nicole faces the all-important Evaluation. If she can't piece together the mystery of what actually killed her she won't be moving on. Her only route to uncovering the truth is a fact-finding trip to Earth, beginning at her own funeral, where the facts she finds may be harder to piece together and accept than death itself.
