When offered a second chance at life, a disdainful woman makes the ultimate decision to swap her hideous corpse for the body of another she used to make fun of.
After attending her bachelorette party, Joleyne Slider woke up to find herself in Purga...
Lucifer was getting impatient with his understudy, as Junior only had one job, but instead of completing his task, he caused the women to argue with each other!
The deviled man was about to give up on him, as Junior was wasting his precious time.
But when the young trainee used his brains to devise a plan, it made his boss figure out that not all was lost.
"Good thinking Junior, you are learning day by day," Lucifer magically wrote in the Grim Reaper's book. Junior managed to smile, but knew his job wasn't quite done.
Knowing he was one more step to getting his horns, he became ecstatic that he didn't realize that he accidentally sent Joleyne away to Earth with a snap of his finger.

Pulling out a piece of paper out of a hat, Joleyne facepalmed herself as she wasn't thrilled to be selected. She didn't want to trade bodies with the other woman, as she found it disgusting.
Eliza was a bit chubby on her thighs and had remnants of her scars from previous treatments. When she was alive, it was something Joleyne and her friends would constantly make fun of. Not that she wanted to join in taunting a fat, disabled woman, but Joleyne didn't want to be left out of her clique.
G. R., you should have kept me in a mummified position. I find this ridiculous. Me, having a body like Eliza's? That's practically insane!
But what was done, was done. She couldn't do anything to change his mind. With a click of his sharp bony fingers, Joleyne was transported back to Earth.
Nervous to have been the unlucky soul to be selected for the trip, Joleyne felt the jitters.
Mumbling expletives to herself, Joleyne bit her tongue. Standing in front of her former fiancée's door, she hoped Jason would still remember her.
She wanted to be welcomed with his open arms and continue with her normal life. She planned on telling him that she woke up from a coma, and took several years off to relearn how to walk and do certain activities by getting help from both physical and occupational therapy.
Joleyne knocked on the door, twitching the hands that no longer belonged to her.
But to her shock, another woman opened it.
"Yes? May I help you?"
Joleyne froze as she couldn't believe who she was seeing. The blonde happened to be her younger sister.
"Julie, babe, who is it?"
Joleyne's jaw dropped as the handsome man she expected to see just called her sister a 'babe'.
Were they married? That was supposed to be me! How could she do that? That's not fair! She always wanted whatever I had!
Joleyne's quick reaction was to flee, but knew she had to say something before they'd thought she was a trespasser.
"Um, I'm sorry to bother you, but I think I have the wrong house."
Joleyne was about to turn the other way, when the man in curled locks stopped her.
"Jo, is that you? We thought you were dead."
Sheepishly, Joleyne wanted to truthfully answer him, but was a bit embarrassed.
"I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else. Thank you for your time ... Mr. Crowly."
She covered her mouth at the mention of his last name. She didn't mean to blurt that out, but didn't have any self-control.
Running toward the gates of the opening of his estate, Joleyne wished she'd disappear.
"Wait! How do you know our last name?" Jason shouted to get her attention. But it was too late as Joleyne was able to exit the wide gate. Tears ran down her cheeks as she hid near the bushes.
Choking on her tears, she wanted to die.
That was when the man in a blue cloak showed up. Looking up towards the Grim Reaper, she asked why he was following her.
"You got what you wanted G.R. Get me out of here!" Joleyne mumbled as she threw bits of grass at the cloaked man.
"Joleyne, I accidentally transported you to Jason Crowley's house. I never meant to do that as I knew you'd get heartbroken. He married your sister after your death, since he made a deal with your father to save the family business. He couldn't break the contract, so your sister was happy to take over your 'shoes'."
I'm sure she was!
Eying the Grim Reaper with a scowl, she grew angry at everything that happened.
"Then take me away. I don't want to live anymore."
Junior nodded his head.
"I'm afraid not, it doesn't easily work like that, you have to fulfill Eliza's wish. She wants to see her family. You made an oath to her as you agreed to switch bodies"
Is this for real? I don't really want to see the other lady's rascals.
"Now, now Joleyne , let's not get ahead of ourselves, Eliza's children are older now since it's been five years since the accident. Eliot is now seven and baby Dorian is now two. They miss their mom so much, so it would be much appreciated if you can play the role of their mother for a few minutes. You'll also meet Desmond, Eliza's husband who grew a bit older than he's supposed to be as he became a widow. So, please come with me as we will venture to Eliza's past.
And with a poof ... the two disappeared within a thick smoke. However, Junior promised it wouldn't happen as he told Joleyne. Instead, Eliza took over. She had to see her husband and children before she too had to say goodbye. In the end Joleyne was taken in Lucifer's lair and Eliza was given to God's messenger.
