Plot Summary

A struggling ad executive discovers that her guardian angel is real, but he's more interested in worldly pleasures than divine intervention. As she navigates her increasingly chaotic life, she must find a way to motivate her angel and convince him to help her achieve success, all while dealing with his often questionable methods and the temptations of Hollywood. The film explores themes of faith, ambition, and the unexpected forms of guidance one might receive.
