Elsewhere

It's the eternal question: what happens when you die?
.
For Liz, it's answered far too soon when she's killed by a taxicab as she's riding her bike on her way to help her best friend buy a prom dress. However, she's unwilling to accept the truth, even when she befriends a girl who died after being shot in the head, a man who died from a drug overdose, and even her own grandmother, who died before she was born.
.
Elsewhere is a land of impossibilities where people age backwards from the day they died to the day they are ready to be born again. It's both magical and familiar, as is Liz's quest to find out who she is, who she was, who she wanted to be before she died, and who she wants to be now.

Will Liz be able to accept her life in the afterlife? Or will she be so desperate to get back to what she thought she once knew and loved that she'll abandon the life she's worked so hard to build?
