Grace Hanadarko is an Oklahaoma City police detective. Brilliant
in her professional life, she is on the road to self-destruction in
her personal one, until one night she runs over a man in her car
whilst drunk and cries out in desperation to God for help. God
obliges by sending Earl? A dishevelled, tobacco spitting angel.
With the help of this unlikely looking saviour, Grace tries to find
her way again.
