In the near future New Orleans, resurrection technology allows you to live more than one life, choosing your next life and family as you see fit. Music and jive-sweet swallow the city in pleasure and pain, as the Underground Circus lurks for the unwary. Now, you can be anyone you want: just sign one little consent form for a fresh start, and your chance at heaven.

Chaz Domingue is a Babysitter - charged with protecting souls in their first week of new life. But Angelique is far from your average charge, one dark powers have been waiting for. And as she struggles to remember the treacherous secrets from her past, evil searches for the ultimate prize - the secret to true immortality - and only Chaz and Angelique can stop them.

You only get nine lives. Use them wisely.
