Juniper dies in bed at age 22, in this clever and interesting tale, from carbon monoxide poisoning. She finds herself outside her room, goes in, and tries to revive herself by pushing, shoving, and encouraging words but nothing helps. She soon learns that she is in day limbo, which means that she can only wander around doing nothing. For some unknown reason, she isn't given the opportunity to enter the portal to the hereafter. She thinks, "What good is an eternal soul with no meaningful way to pass the time?" She also finds out that at night, she can enter night limbo, which allows her to go to the world of the living and see the people. But she is warned: do not touch anything because if you do you will be punished severely. Juniper goes to the living world and wants to hug her mother goodbye. She also goes to her friend's house, sees how she is being brutally mistreated by her boyfriend and wants to interfere. The story continues telling how she responds to her desires to interfere in the living world and the consequences, and we learn more about life after death.
