Amadeo was born into a very strange world. Everything is like it is with us, but for some unclear reason, in adolescence a person’s soul separates from the body. It flies off to heaven or hell to spend eternity there. The physical shells remain on Earth: they wander mindlessly through the world, or serve powerful priests, performing only the simplest actions learned in childhood.
No one can explain to Amadeo why this happens—and honestly, he isn’t even up to searching for answers to life’s crucial questions. His soul stayed in his body longer than usual, until he was 18, so there is no heaven in store for him anymore. Only one direction remains—hell!
