Plot Summary
Gabriel is a low-ranking guardian angel whose job is to save people from crashing while texting and driving, but he wants to save lost souls which is the responsibility of another angel named Azrael. One day, he saves Arj, an aspiring documentarian who does odd jobs, works part time at a hardware store and lives in his car. Curious, Gabriel observes Arj for a few days. Arj begins dating his coworker Elena who’s trying to unionize the store. While doing tasks for hire, Arj meets Jeff, a wealthy tech investor, and Jeff hires Arj as his assistant.
Jeff recommends a supposedly affordable restaurant for Arj to take Elena to, but when the restaurant ends up being very expensive, Arj uses Jeff’s company credit card to pay for the meal. Jeff fires him as a result. Arj discovers the app he previously used to earn money has banned him and he turns to donating plasma. He falls asleep afterward in a Denny’s and discovers his car has been towed due to unpaid parking tickets. Sensing that Arj has hit rock-bottom, Gabriel shows himself to Arj and presents him with a vision of his future to inspire hope, but Arj perceives his future to be bleak.
Gabriel tells him that having wealth and success like Jeff will not fix his problems, and switches Arj and Jeff’s lives to prove his point. Arj discovers that he is now a wealthy tech investor with all of Jeff’s assets and Jeff is now his assistant. To Gabriel’s disappointment, Arj is ecstatic and realizes that being rich has solved most of his problems. Gabriel’s actions are discovered by Martha, his supervisor. She tells him that Arj needs to agree to switch back lives with Jeff, and takes away Gabriel’s wings as punishment, which deprives him of some of his angel powers.
