Meet Devi & Dave!
In a cosmic twist of fate, we see the convergence of two departed souls, Devi and Dave, in the most unexpected of circumstances. Devi is a fiery rebellious spirit, and Dave is a strong-willed yuppie. What will happen when they find out that they've been matched as the least compatible roommates?
