Synopsis

Despondent over his breakup with Desiree, Zia slashes his wrists and goes to an afterlife peopled by suicides, a high-desert landscape dotted by old tires, burned-out cars, and abandoned sofas. He gets a job in a pizza joint. By chance, Zia learns that Desiree offed herself a few months after he did, and she’s looking for him. He sets off with Eugene (an electrocuted Russian rocker) to find her, and they pick up a hitchhiker, Mikal, who’s looking for the People in Charge, believing she’s there by mistake. They’re soon at the camp of Kneller, where casual miracles proliferate. They hear rumors of a miraculous king. Can Zia find Desiree? Then what? Where there’s death there’s hope. —IMDb

I wish this was a book...and I rarely say that of a movie. The premise is pregnant, but it doesn't quite deliver.

I love a quirky outrageous movie with a novel premise. Just not this time. Pretty hard to stay focused on. Not much here in the way of laughs though it tries, oh boy does it try. Feels and looks like a student film. Tom Waits is always welcome and gives this a star for a total of **. Heaven can wait.
