It's the summer of 1972 and Bessie has just turned fifteen in Ravenspond, Canada. She is young, curious and restless.

Having just broken up with her boyfriend Jason, she decides to hitchhike to Vancouver with her best pal, Ash, and catch her hero Chris Lisacker in concert. But instead of ending up on the West Coast, Bessie and Ash find themselves in Heaven, with no idea how they got there.

With the help of the Hawaiian-shirted Angel, Mel, Bessie gradually recovers her memories. But when her fate is about to be revealed, does she really want to know the truth?
