Angry Angel

In a bustling New York City where the divine meets the digital, angels earn their passage to heaven through a quirky points system that flashes on their smartphones. Allison Pyke is one of these celestial workers, stuck in the mortal realm while she logs miracles, hopes, and everyday favors in exchange for the tally that will finally lift her into the afterlife. The film paints a playful yet poignant picture of a bureaucracy that feels oddly human—notifications ping, deadlines loom, and each good deed nudges a soul a little closer to eternal peace.

When she isn’t chasing the next miracle, Allison blends into the city’s rhythm by waiting tables, a job that doubles as her cover and a source of unexpected intimacy. Her boss, James Barker, is a charismatic figure whose relationship with her blurs the line between professional rapport and something more personal, adding a layer of complexity to her already tight‑rope walk between earthly temptations and celestial ambitions. The city itself becomes a character, its neon lights and noisy streets echoing the internal tug‑of‑war that defines her quest.

The heart of the story tightens when a familiar face from Allison’s previous life resurfaces. Patrick Dorsey, her former husband, arrives in the city accompanied by Jill, a bright new companion, igniting a delicate love triangle that forces Allison to confront what she truly values. Alongside these entangled relationships, a fellow angel named Leonard offers both rivalry and counsel, while her mentor, Jason Biggs, watches from the gates with a mixture of guidance and caution. The interplay of past affection, present desire, and future destiny creates a simmering emotional current that threatens to derail her carefully plotted ascent.

Through witty dialogue, modern mythology, and a whimsical tone that balances satire with sincerity, the film invites viewers to wonder whether points and miracles can ever outweigh the messier, more human side of love and choice. As Allison navigates the luminous and the mundane, the audience is left questioning where the true path to heaven—or redemption—might be found.
