An innocent angel is faced with the dubious task of destroying an all-to-indulgent Earth. Since persecution and hatred have soared out of control, Heaven sends Athanael, a trumpet player in Heaven's orchestra, to Earth to play the first four notes of the 'Judgment Day Overture.'

But the plans are botched when Athanael is faced with the trials and tribulations of the people of Earth. |
