The Fall of Heaven

Tempest Landry, a street-wise young man living in Harlem, unexpectedly finds himself at the Pearly Gates

When Saint Peter orders him to hell, the quick-witted Tempest refuses to go

A technical loophole forces heaven to send Tempest back to Earth with an angel in tow to keep him out of trouble

The resulting battle of wills takes an intriguing look at good versus evil and what it means to be human
