In the year 2011, Charles Russell dies in a hovercraft accident and finds himself in the high spiritual palace of Saint Peter. Since Charles is too good for hell and too bad for heaven, he is given the chance to return to the present to assist his younger self, Chazz, in making better decisions at critical junctures in his life in order to redeem himself. In turn, Saint Peter, who grades Charles' progress in his attempt to grow into a new man the second time around, watches over him like a hawk.
