Fifteen year old Padraig McKenna is dead. And that's just the start of his problems. Instead of the brief spell of haunting his best friends and finally getting to see inside the girls changing rooms that he was expecting to come his way, a clerical error leaves him trapped in limbo until he can complete his life's work. Unfortunately with no records to go by, he has to rely on the not too impressive ability of his angel-in-waiting, Gabrielle, who is suffering from an unfortunate case of incompetence and dresses like an colour blind Boy George. To make matters worse, the only person who can see him on earth is Emily, the one person who hates him most, and frustratingly the one person he might just have been destined for. Secretly Padraig thinks it would be much less hassle to spend the rest of eternity in Limbo than have to listen another of Emily's lectures on fabric softener and biodegradable socks. Now it seems that a daemon has gotten loose and is after HIS human, and Padraig is the only one who can sort it out. If that wasn't enough Gabrielle is in danger of loosing her wings if Padraig fails, Emily seems to be falling in love with Padraig's best friend and walking through walls is a lot harder than it looks.
