Summary

When the main character Pierce Oliviera suffers a near death experience, she sees what awaits everyone in the afterlife: a cavern, two boats, and a nineteen-year-old death deity named John Hayden. After her traumatic experience, she is expelled from her private school and moves to Isla Huesos with her mom for a new start. What happened to her in the Underworld and what caused her to be expelled is slowly revealed through a series of flashbacks.
