Short Summary: A quality control and systems engineering technician at a body swap shop must rectify, fix and repair some vacation and permanent body swap orders that have gone wrong but in doing so, love suddenly starts to knock upon his heart's door when he has to convince a female customer that her own body and life are worth returning to, existing and living in. Since the current body that she is mistakenly vacationing in due to technical errors is due to pass away from a terminal illness, he must negotiate her return before the body that she is vacationing in expires. However, as body swap technician embarks upon his repair voyage, he discovers that one of the other mix up customers is a terminally ill man who is on a journey to absolve himself from those he wronged through life and so, he gets roped into assisting the customer in his attempts to correct his wrongs as he tries to make some form of restitution and another is a man in a female body that has no wish to return to his male body. Being that the second and third clients are unwilling to return to their bodies before these issues are resolved in some way, he tries to help speed up the forgiveness process and the gender change acceptance issues which he hopes will encourage the clients to return to their own body willingly so that one customer can depart from life with a peaceful heart and the other find a place of self-acceptance and plan changes for the future but as he tries to resolve all the pending mix up issues, he makes a startling discovery.

Synopsis Summary: A man that works as a quality control technician at a body swap shop must rectify, repair and fix some body swap mismatches when a group of customers are accidentally given the wrong body swaps. Since he usually deals with customer complaints when things go wrong with body swap vacations and permanent life swaps, like irate partners or relatives who think that their loved ones didn't return or that their loved ones got lost in mind swap transit, the mix up is some senses is not particularly unusual but on this occasion, the mix up did affect a whole group of customers, due to a sudden glitch in the system. However, the program batch trail of body swaps has strangely gone missing from the back up files and logs for that particular batch of customers and holidaymakers who all put in their order on the same day and in the same afternoon, so he must try to test and check which minds and bodies belong to who in person in order to provide refunds or alternative temporary (vacation) body swaps and permanent (life) body swaps more accurately to any of the customers that want them.
Suddenly however, some tricky issues start to arise because some of the customers that he encounters that were given the wrong body swaps, no longer want to swap back into the real body swap orders that they initially made or return to their own bodies. This is especially problematic with regards to a female body swap customer who is on a body swap vacation in another female body that does not wish to return to her own life and body from the mistaken vacation body swap that was given to her in error and another customer that is a terminally ill man that is on a mission journey to absolve himself from those he wronged through life and so, he gets roped into assisting the customer in his attempts to correct his wrongs and make some form of restitution as he tries to help speed up the forgiveness process which he hopes will encourage the client to return to their own body willingly so that the customer can depart from life with a peaceful heart and so that he can resolve all the pending mix up issues.
En-route to trying to convince the female customer that her own life and body are worth living and existing in again and still worth loving, love strangely starts to knock upon his heart's door. Unfortunately however, time is not on his heart's side and before he can even think about the prospects of a potentially enjoyable romance, he first has to try and convince the female customer to return to her own life and body before the body swap body that she is mistakenly vacationing in due to the technical errors, passes away from a terminal illness. Another issue that the technician must also try to resolve and solve in the process is the actual mystery of why the glitchy errors actually took place but to solve that mystery he must follow a trail of clues that relate to some of the customers in question, some of whom seem to share some kind of connection to some strange past events from his own life.
