Due to a recent tragedy, Olivia and a few of her friends find themselves "Caught" between Life and Death in a place called Limbo. Olivia and her fellow Chosen must observe the world of the Living, learn to control new powers, and maybe even guide their Living loved ones away from their fates. Most importantly, O and her friends are determined to unlock the secrets of the Way, a legendary power that just might restore their Lives.
