When British visitors Elle Winthrop and her daughter Elizabeth die near DFW Airport, they learn
there's life after death, and that Elle's mother is living in eternal damnation. In order to redeem
a Get Out of Hell Free card, they must return to Fort Worth and convince five people to do an
extraordinarily good deed in Mama's name within thirty days. Only this time, Elle returns as Sylvester
"Sly" Gooch, a twelve-year-old African-American juvenile delinquent with a colorful police history,
while Elizabeth reappears as Adelaide Hollingsworth, a wealthy white octogenarian and mugging
victim -- and Sly's the prime robbery suspect. When Sly discards his ankle monitor, and Addie
discovers her family's scheme to take her money, the two must work together while dodging the
police in a race against time.
