Danny, guided by his pal Virgil, embarks on a road trip through the afterlife

On the way the pair encounter many strange, but strangely familiar,
characters.


Descending the 9 circles of Inferno, they meet a stripper, a politician, a
clergyman, a military officer, a Wall Street trader, and others, before
encountering the CEO of Hell himself.


They escape his clutches and climb the seven-story mountain of Purgatorio.
As they ascend, they meet a nurse, an artist, an educator, scientists, and
others, all striving to make the world better.


At the top there is a river Danny must cross alone to meet his true love,
Triss, who guides him around the seven heavens. Before he can stay he

must face the judgment. With Triss as his attorney he gets through the trial.
After a brief meeting with the Almighty, Danny and Triss are united for
eternity.
