To Monica, Scott Walden
seems like a perfect assignment. The charming owner of a small
aviation company, he performs numerous charitable deeds and has been a
wonderful surrogate father to his fiancee's pre-teen son. What Monica
doesn't know is "Mr. Wonderful"has a secretive past, which
comes to light after an employee borrows a plane to make a
humanitarian, albeit illegal smuggling mission. FBI agents arrive and
apprehend Scott, charging him with an eighteen- year-old murder
committed by one William Grunwald. Insisting the man is innocent,
Monica defends him to his fiancee, Jocelyn and his lawyer, Andrew.
Unsure what to make of these events, Scott's future stepson, Jeremy is
comforted by Tess. Monica decides, though, to take matters into her
own hands and uses her angelic powers to help Scott escape. Andrew is
confounded by her actions, especially since he has discovered Scott
Walden is William Grunwald. Despite this knowledge, Monica continues
to insist the man is innocent. Tess, however, is irate and directly
orders Monica not to help Scott escape justice in any way, shape, or
form. The willful angel disobeys that order by concealing his
whereabouts from Agent Bradford, then is taken aback when Scott admits
he did commit murder. Sam (the special agent angel) arrives and tells
Monica her lie of omission has threatened her very existence as an
angel. He sends her to "God's Country"to reflect upon her
mistake--not as a punishment but as a lesson. In the meantime, Andrew
starts a revelation to Scott, who bails out of the airplane after an
engine fire. Surprised to be alive despite his parachute's apparent
failure, he finds himself in the same nether-region as Monica. She
helps him understand that although he killed the man who raped his
sister, he should have faced the consequences rather than losing
himself in lies. Both angel and human pray for forgiveness, which they
receive. Scott's parachute opens and when he lands, the FBI agents
take him into custody. Prior to his extradition, Scott and Jocelyn
marry, and he is reunited with his sister, who has since come forward
with the truth.
