Gabriela will be collected by her Death, Hercule, next Wednesday. For her pre-departure Wrap-Up List, she scrambles to arrange first kisses for her friends (and herself) while trying to find Hercule's one weakness to get herself a Pardon; the truth about her grandfather's WWII death ultimately holds the key. This darkly humorous, creative supernatural tale also has interesting spiritual undertones.
