In a quiet cafe a cell phone rings.  And rings.  The stranger at the next table has had enough.  She confronts the owner of the cell phone, but, well … he’s dead.  She begins to answer his calls and suddenly finds herself enmeshed in his life and family.  Unfortunately, the dead guy has quite  a number of shady loose ends.  This comic fantasy traces one woman’s accidental quest to make a few people feel just a little bit better about themselves.
