PlotA bishop, Henry Brougham, struggles to secure funding for a grand cathedral, a project that has strained his marriage to Julia and his relationships with those around him. Desperate for divine intervention, Henry prays for guidance. In response, an angel named Dudley appears, initially unrecognized as an angel. Dudley offers to assist Henry with his various predicaments but soon focuses more on improving the lives of those he's come to help rather than the materialistic project Henry is fixated upon.
As Dudley spends more time with Julia and the community, his genuine charm and easygoing nature begin to contrast sharply with Henry's increasingly stressed and obsessive demeanor. The angel's true mission starts to unfold as he influences the people around him gently and profoundly, guiding them toward what truly matters. Relationships evolve, misunderstandings clear up, and priorities shift as everyone begins to see what's truly valuable in their lives.
