The film stars Patrick McKenna as Milo 55160, a bureaucrat in heaven whose job is to process the paperwork for newly dead people to enter the afterlife. One day, however, a young boy (Graham Kartna) arrives still clutching his most cherished earthly possession, meaning that the boy is not fully dead. Milo must therefore decide whether to confiscate the toy and assure the boy's death, or to send the boy back to the land of the living but risk missing his processing quota.[1]
