One day, Onion is hit by a car. He finds himself suddenly beamed to a dreamy environment and is able to see and speak again. A young agent dressed in black tells Onion that he was killed on earth and is now in transit to Polaris. The agent tells Onion that he happens to be the 60 billionth human being who dies on earth. Every time the number hits 10 billion, the person will be granted a wish. Onion is overjoyed and wishes to return to earth as he wants to be with Autumn. The agent can only allow Onion to return to earth for five days. During these five days, he will be able to see and speak, but will have the appearance of a different person so that no one will recognise him.
