"I didn''t expect to die today..."

Everyone dies. But what happens if you''re not ready when it''s your turn?

The first time Charlie White nearly died, there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Her life didn''t flash before her eyes. There were no pearly gates. As the sufferer of a rare medical condition, she has lost count of the number of times she''s evaded death.

Traumatised and afraid, she upends her high-flyer Sydney lifestyle and escapes to the relative isolation and safety of rural New South Wales, Australia. But as strange occurrences start up in her 1920s cottage, she realises she''s not as alone as she''d hoped.

The spirits are restless and not everything is as it seems. Charlie''s life is not the only thing hanging in the balance. Her beliefs, her sanity, her very connection to reality, are under threat. She soon realises purgatory is all too real, and she''s not its only resident.
