Ever Wonder what it would be like to choose heaven?
Close-knit Mexican American Christian family, the Esperanzas, are rocked by the death of their middle son, eighteen-year-old Gabriel. Angel Gabriel is introduced to three angels and given a short tour of heaven-lite before returning to earth to see that three months have passed. Gifted with an angelic aura light power, a kind of energy that can shoot down negativity and build up the positive, he helps his now pregnant sister by giving her the courage to announce the pregnancy to their parents and the father-to-be, whom she ghosted because of her shame. His girlfriend also chose a sinful path and has gone off the deep end, finding comfort in booze and boys. Gabriel helps her fight her powerful force of demons with his light powers, but she has bitten the apple, tasted its sweet poison, and becoming bound tighter and tighter by the sadistic serpent proves to be a challenging task for them both. Gabriel also discovers his brother is engaged and his fiancée is secretly a medium who can see and hear Gabriel. They become best friends, but she can’t keep the secret from his brother any longer. Her options are to lose her fiancé or to lose her transcendental best friend. Will Gabriel be able to help his family, or will they succumb to their own sinful paths?
