Cassie and Lisa have been best friends and inseparable since 1st grade. They still live together as adults, each with different interests and social circles - Cassie always being the life of a party while Lisa is kinda keep-to-herself type of person - most probably because she works in a museum.

As she love to party, Cassie has been planning a grand celebration during her birthday week and she insists that Lisa joins her at the club that night. As they are leaving their apartment, a new neighbour moves in next door. Cassie senses a good vibe between Lisa and Max, the new neighbour and promises to help Lisa afterwards to connect with Max.

The party starts in a club and immediately Lisa feels out of place. Cassie didn't realise that Lisa is not having fun cause she is. Afterwards, Cassie wants to go party elsewhere but Lisa wants to call it a night. A fight ensues between the two and both said words that were hurtful towards each other. 

Cassie comes back much later and messes the puzzle that she and Lisa is finishing. When she knocks Lisa's door to apologise and no one answers, she goes into her own room and sleep.

The next morning, when she tries to nurse her hangover, she trips in the bathroom and hits her head on the toilet, resulting in her death.

She wakes up to see Val, her angel handler who will assist her to complete her list of unsettled issues on Earth before heading to the 'Afterlife party in heaven'. The list includes her best friend, her doting father and her mother who wlaks out of her life when she was smaller. 

The only trouble is, she has to clear the list before time runs out. 

Can she clear her list when she is angry at her best friend and her mother and has not been in touch with his father for so long?
