However, he finally gets the gig of his dreams when his former student Curly asks him to play in his jazz band with Dorthea Williams, a famous musician. Joe is so excited on his way home from his audition that he does not pay attention to where he is going, and as a result, he falls into a pothole and dies.

But Joe is not ready to leave Earth. A soul named 22 agrees to help him get back.
