Good Fortune

On a city street, Arj almost crashes while texting behind the wheel. Gabriel materializes and saves him from disaster, altering the course of his life. This abrupt rescue marks the start of an unusual influence Gabriel will exert over Arj's decisions.

Over the next days, Gabriel discreetly observes Arj's life from the wings. He notes Arj's struggles, ambitions, and the seeds of dissatisfaction. The guardian begins weighing whether to intervene further.

Arj starts dating his coworker Elena, who is pushing for a union at the hardware store. The relationship brings Elena's labor activism into his orbit. Gabriel watches how this relationship threatens to pull Arj toward a more meaningful life.

During food deliveries, Arj meets Jeff, a wealthy tech investor. Jeff hires him as an assistant and uses Arj's proximity to gain insights and favors. Jeff even recommends a restaurant for Elena's date, hinting at the gulf between wealth and ordinary life.

Jeff's recommended restaurant turns out to be overpriced. Arj uses Jeff's company credit card to pay, hoping to please Elena, but Jeff fires him after the incident. The firing deepens Arj's sense of lack and dependence on others.

Arj's income drains away as his app bans him and he searches for ways to survive, even donating plasma. He falls asleep in a Denny's and discovers his car has been towed for unpaid tickets. Gabriel appears, shows him a vision of a bleak future, and then swaps Arj's life with Jeff's to prove that wealth cannot fix his problems.

Arj wakes in Jeff's body and begins to live as a wealthy tech investor, while Jeff inhabits Arj's former life. They must navigate new identities, money, and power, and the shift challenges both men to see life through the other's lens. Gabriel observes the consequences of the swap from the sidelines.

Martha, Gabriel's supervisor, discovers the deception and punishes Gabriel by removing his wings, stripping him of some angelic powers. The loss of wings forces Gabriel to confront human limitations and reassess his approach. The revelation also destabilizes Arj and Jeff's swapped lives.

Arj, now in Jeff's role, pursues Elena again, but she breaks up with him when he devalues her union work. The relationship fractures and exposes the emptiness behind sudden wealth. Elena's ideals remain a beacon for Arj, even as his circumstances change.

While driving and attempting to reconcile with Elena, Arj texts again and crashes, slipping into a coma. Jeff and Gabriel struggle to make money, even sleeping in their car. The accident catalyzes a new test of what Arj truly values.

Arj awakens and pretends memory loss to avoid switching back with Jeff. Jeff schemes to steal Arj's expensive watches, and he and Gabriel crash a birthday party where the tensions erupt. The ruse creates a fragile setup for the eventual decision to switch back.

Arj and Gabriel attend a salsa-dancing night with Elena and friends, where Gabriel reminds him that he had learned to value people over wealth. Bolstered by this, Arj chooses to switch back to his authentic life, hoping for real hope rather than guilt. The moment marks a turning point toward the final reversal.

Arj is transported back to the moment after his tow, while Jeff returns to his own life. Jeff uses his influence to push for better benefits for gig workers, signaling a broader change. Arj begins a documentary about gig workers and rekindles his relationship with Elena, with Gabriel watching over them.

With the lives restored and a new sense of purpose, Arj continues his documentary project and remains with Elena. Jeff's advocacy for worker rights blossoms into real reform, illustrating the film's core message: hope and humanity can guide every life, even after a supernatural swap. Gabriel's final watchful presence lingers as the credits roll.
