Mark, a racist womaniser, suffers a fatal accident and finds himself in heaven confronted by St. Peter, who gives him a choice: “change your selfish, racially prejudiced ways or your life ends now!” Mark accepts and returns to the land of the living, accompanied by well-intentioned and sarcastic angel Evan, who is in fact his own conscience. When Mark’s company is taken over by Jasmine, he pursues her, trying to convince her he’s changed and that his love for her is genuine. Is Mark really a better person or is everything just an illusion being played out in Mark’s head as a result of his accident?
