After being murdered for refusing to sell his homestead, 60 year old Bucko Cassidy reincarnates to help his son Junior avoid the identical fate. Bucko also learns that Junior's wife Ellie is about to divorce him. This will force Junior to sell the house and junkyard to satisfy the divorce settlement. Junior is desperate and lost. When junior recovers from the shock of seeing Bucko again after having buried him six months earlier, Bucko explains there is a backlog of paperwork in heaven and that his is currently in a holding pattern. While he is 'waitin to live' he has been allowed to temporarily, return as a angel, but may be called back at any time. Bucko reveals that Junior is the only person who can see or hear him, which causes all manner of conflict and confusion as well as concern for Junior who it is believed by all who know him, is letting the pressure get to him.
