“And the world will keep on spinning / With no ending or beginning / So just take a look around / Take a look around / Take a look around / And round and round and round” — Ocean, Noel, Mischa, Ricky, Constance

In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life. A funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!
