Kiriel, experiencing life through a body for the first time, is determined to have as many tactile experiences as he can, before the higher-ups track him down and remove him from Shaun's body. After some monitoring of individuals, he takes possession of the about-to-be-vacated body of a teenage slacker named Shaun (right before Shaun would have stepped in front of a truck). Jenkins, is about a fallen angel named Kiriel who, after spending thousands of years overseeing sufferers in Hell, decides that he needs a vacation. ![]() The premise of Repossessed hooked me right away. ![]()
