Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Without permission, Monica (Roma Downey) impulsively uses her angelic powers to help Scott Walden (Robert Hays), a "solid citizen" whose sordid past comes to light when he is charged with murder, escape from police custody. Even worse, Monica lies about her complicity in Walden's escape. Enter Special Angel Agent Sam (Paul Winfield), who grimly informs Monica that her future as a Heavenly case worker is in dire jeopardy. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Scott is not guilty as charged--but he is still far from "innocent", and must undergo a harrowing out-of-body experience to face the consequences of his actions.
