Purgatory can feel like Hell when you die repeatedly.

Warren remembers his first death. He expected to be wearing wings or something similar by now. Instead, he's stuck in a purgatory. He's flesh and blood filled with all of the vices and desires he held before. The afterlife is an eerie film world where he must play a character within some obscure movie from the past. In a bizarre reality already engraved into celluloid by long dead writers, Warren knows he's going to be killed with no way out of his nightmare.

Following his last death at hands of a pretty woman, Warren awakes inside a new character aboard a tramp steamer returning from Cuba during the 1930s. He is involved with an unsavory group of associates and his new ally, Amber, looks vaguely familiar. By the time their ship docks in Boston, Warren is accused of two murders, just one-step away the police and the gallows. Can he live long enough to find the real murderer, or does he remain the victim inside the Infinite Loop?
