When God tells him that he needs to be reincarnated, Ian sets out to prove he is ready to move on to the afterlife instead. God shows Ian his failings as a father to his son and daughter, and as a husband to his wife, and takes him through his past lives throughout time. Will Ian finally break the cycle and prove that he can move on to something greater? Due to mature content, language, and themes, including references to death and suicide, the production is recommended for ages 13+.
