When a car accident leaves a famous movie star in a coma, nurse Kemp McAvoy (Ryan Kitley) devises a plan to make his fortune. Manipulating her medication, he pretends to be an angel, then dictates a "spiritual bestseller" he believes will make them both rich. But while Kemp is implementing his scheme, his girlfriend's daughter, Leah (Caroline Heffernan), is claiming to actually see the celestial beings. This humorous and powerful production is filled with mystery and manipulation, as the characters must figure out what is delusional and what is undeniable.
