Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 13th May 2026 - Mae Rose McElroy is a bitter woman, married to Art for 30 years. Through a spectacular series of events involving a dozen yellow roses, she ends up in the afterlife long before she’s ready. Outraged to be dead, she stomps into higher realms, ready to argue with God for her life back. However, she must first undergo a “Reflection” on her recent past, during which she is stunned to learn that a wonderful life and marriage were always within her reach.With this new insight, Mae Rose is determined to find a way back.
