Twig wakes up in the afterlife not knowing how or why he arrived there. He has some vague memories lingering in the back of his mind of his Da, who he's never been without but that's all they are: hazy and lost. In the afterlife, he meets a raven who is larger than life who is supposed to be his guide. But this all goes awry when Twig wanders off the path he is supposed to be following.

After an encounter with a Gatherer who gives him a map that goes by the name of The Lost Soul Atlas and a skeleton key and a bag of bones that is to help him open Crossings and navigate between the physical world and the afterlife, Twig ends up on an epic journey that tests him and which shines a light on topics of today such as street children, homelessness, global poverty and hunger. Something of which Zana does so powerfully and so vividly. It reminds me of Trash meeting The Afterwards.
