Buddy Price, a Hollywood agent, dies in a car crash and finds himself in Heaven. There, he discovers God's had enough with people and plans on pulling the plug if we can't learn to get along - a 'love thy neighbor or else' sort of message. An unlikely hero as there ever was, Buddy convinces God to let him fix things and gets a second chance. From the first few lines of the book, we know that he's probably the last person we'd want to depend on to save the world, but God's got his plan. Our fate rests in Buddy's hands... or, who knows, maybe he's just crazy and needs lithium or something.
