A man wakes up in a care unit. Who is he, and how did he get there? He feels no pain, but he's unable to speak or move. Infrequent visits by a "bean counter" named Gabe reveal what he refuses to believe: he's an angel fallen from grace, all the way. He can survive, um, sorry, not in heaven. But he can live in the realm of humankind only by performing a meaningful "mitzvah" or act of retribution. But for what sin? And why in hell should he believe in angels when he knows there is no god?
