Joe Gardner, a middle school educator with a passion for jazz, finds himself in an unexpected predicament after a triumphant performance at the Half Note Club. An accident causes his soul to detach from his body, sending him to the You Seminar—a place where souls cultivate their interests and prepare for life in a newborn. To return to Earth, Joe must seek assistance from other souls in training, including 22, a soul who has lingered in the You Seminar for ages.
