故事设定在一个死后的奇异时空,所有自杀后的人都会被聚集到这里。在这个异次元的世界里,除了每个人都拥有神奇力量外,一切看似跟现实世界毫无分别。男主人公齐亚(派屈克·福吉特 Patrick Fugit饰)为情割腕自杀后,本以为能就此一了百了,却阴差阳错的坠入这个自杀者的天堂。在路上,齐亚先后遇见了因各种原因自杀的路人,后与另外两位自杀者结伴同行,一起踏上了神奇旅程。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.
