The Big Leap
Three characters meet on the roof of a skyscraper planning to commit suicide due to the financial crisis. Things quickly go awry because each has a different vision of the afterlife: Sarah believes, John is an atheist, whiles Ben belongs to the agnostics. The only way to find out who is right, is to complete the eponymous jump.
