When shallow, self-absorbed stockbrocker Sterling Brooks meets with a fatal freak accident on the golf course, he's in for the ride of his afterlife. Thanks to the divine intervention of Joe, a guardian angel with an attitude, Sterling learns that he can only get into heaven by performing one last good deed on earth: he must rescue single mother Annie Campbell and her seven-year old daughter Marissa from vicious mobsters who will stop at nothing - including murder - to prevent Annie from testifying against them.
