God decides humanity is going to end. Ian Voe Meyer, a recently deceased heart surgeon, must be the one to pull the plug. Ian will be the last soul to exist in the cycle of human reincarnation, leaving the rest of the world to fade away. To demonstrate the ugliness of humanity to Ian, God takes him through his chaotic home life, and across time and space into past lives. Will Ian challenge God’s decision or will he be the final casualty in the long line of human rebirth?
Due to mature content, language, and themes, including references to death and suicide, the production is recommended for ages 13+.
