SYNOPSIS:

A bodyless Fallen Angel, bitter about banishment, plans revenge on mankind. The human vehicle he uses is a murderous biker and IV drug addict, called SPEEDY.

The horrors of being a forensic detective weigh heavy on pill popping, Det. SONY ROBINSON (30’s). Already overworked, she is given the task of processing an extremely gruesome murder scene. Speedy has murdered his own family with a hammer. And it is gruesome. Time for drinking.

Later, she spots Speedy’s truck in a supermarket parking lot. She calls for back up and goes in after him. Speedy takes a hostage. There is a standoff until an unknown stranger with huge eyebrows, trips Speedy and Sony takes the kill shot.

Sony tries to locate the stranger but is unable. Her boss gives her an assignment that is a mystery to the department. To her surprise, the man in the mystery case is the same person who was the stranger at the supermarket.

Meanwhile, Speedy’s body is overtaken in the morgue by the Fallen Angel. He comes to life and escapes into the city to kill more.

Sony’s humorous partner, YOGI (40’s), joins her as the demon enhanced Speedy, begins to go on the attack against Sony, the woman who killed him, … sort of. While they brace for the attacks, more sightings of the stranger from the supermarket with huge eyebrows are confirmed. It seems unexplainable due to distance and timing. Yogi calls his sister DEE DEE (30’s) who works at the NSA’s facial recognition department and gets her involved with solving the matter. Cornered by Speedy, the detectives seem doomed. His strength is super human although his body is starting to rot. Unafraid, Sony talks shit to him. Suddenly, just before the two are destroyed, the guy with huge eyebrows appears out of nowhere and saves the lives of Sony and Yogi from the hands of the zombie version of Speedy. Dee Dee arrives in town with a briefcase full of photos of the eyebrow man from around the world and across ages. All are confounded.

The eyebrow man finally reveals himself to the officers as URIEL (30’s), an archangel whose main job is to be a Guardian Angel. They discuss his mission, the demon pursuing them, the meaning of life and what their creator expects from them.

Just then, Speedy goes on the attack. During the fight, Speedy discloses that his real target is Uriel, because he wants to eliminate Guardian Angels, so that mankind is more vulnerable and easier to crush. A battle ensues between the immortals. The humans flee to the backyard, then a huge BOOM knocks them into the pool. Only remnants are left of Speedy and no sign of Uriel is seen. They worry that he has sacrificed himself for mankind.

Sad and mourning, they have one last swim before Dee Dee goes back to DC. In the pool, Uriel materializes. In a joyous reunion, Uriel confirms his vow to protect humans and inspires them with words of wisdom. No longer depressed, Sony has a new outlook on life and professes to try to be a Guardian Angel in her own funky way.
