A married mother takes her children to church one Sunday morning and doubles back to retrieve a forgotten bible, only to find her husband in bed with her friend. The shock kills her — a heart attack, right there on the threshold. Her soul is on its way to the spiritual world when Death herself pulls her back: a beautiful girl who misses the dragon that was her companion in life and wants the mother to kill it, so they can be reunited between the worlds. The mother, devastated and grieving, accepts the deal. A great adventure follows.
