“A tough cop. A dead lawyer. Every partnership has its problems.”

ComedyCrimeDramaFantasy

Racist police officer Jack Moony has a vendetta against Napoleon Stone, a charismatic black lawyer who is sleeping with Jack's old flame Crystal Gerrity. Jack has a heart attack, but his life is saved when he receives Stone's heart, since Stone died mysteriously the same night as Jack was stricken. Stone is not completely gone, however, and as a ghost he is all too happy to give Jack advice on how he should do his job and live his life.

VIBE

A bizarre, genre-bending comedy where a prejudiced cop gets a supernatural second chance at life. Expect a wild ride of racial commentary, spectral advice, and unexpected character growth. It's a truly unique, off-kilter viewing experience.
