Elizabeth "Lizzie" Hall, the victim of a hit-and-run wakes up in Elsewhere, a place where death is a beginning and you age backwards. For 16 year old Lizzie its hard knowing she will never fall in love, get married or have children, and while she displays destructive behaviour in dealing with her grief and avoiding reality, she eventually forms new relationships with family members she never knew, rockstars-turned-fishermen, dogs now that she can speak canine, and people in denial just like her. The heavy yet somehow light theme of death is not exactly seen as an end to all things, but rather seen as rebirth and a chance for Lizzie to redeem herself, as well as other characters; an example is Curtis Stone, who was a depressed celebrity drug addict but upon coming to elsewhere chose the life of a fisherman and was shown to be much happier.
