action

Eddie Chandler, a teenager, is anything but easy. He skipped school, ran away from home once and even kicked out of school twice. Now he has to commit a shoplifting in order to be accepted into the corridor of Vinni and Mole. He steals a bag of chips, but is caught by the shopkeeper. He chases him and Eddie runs in front of a car. He remains unconscious on the street and Vinnie and Mole have nothing better to do than run away. Eddie is admitted to the hospital and his single mother, Kathy, informed.

At the hospital, Eddie has an out-of-body experience , seeing the doctors working on his body with the defibrillator. Shocked, he stumbles back and through a wall, so that he suddenly finds himself in another hospital room. The patient lying there says that she has already expected him and is disappointed when Eddie does not want to take her with him. No one else can see Eddie. Suddenly a man stands behind Eddie who asks him to come with him. The two enter the elevator and the man tells him that his name is Howard and that he has jumped in as a replacement transport angel. Eddie does not know what is happening to him at first and cannot understand that he should be dead. Howard asks Eddie several times to push the elevator button towards Paradise. Once in heaven, another man eagerly awaits the arrival of the elevator, but he is disappointed when he sees Eddie and says there has been a mix-up. Suddenly a phone rings in the elevator and Howard learns that the "dead" have actually been mixed up and that he now has to put Eddie's life in order within three human days. First he brings Eddie back to earth and then back into his body. A kind of stopwatch is available as an aid to stop human life on earth. Eddie's mind rises back into his body and the doctors, who in themselves had already given up their lives, are surprised when suddenly the heart beats again. Eddie's mother, Kathy, who has meanwhile arrived at the hospital, is happily standing by his sick bed.

After Eddie is released, he gets a new probation officer. His mother doesn't believe his story with the angel Howard. But this is, of all people, his new probation officer. First, the two go to the shop where Eddie stole in order to make amends, as Howard calls it. As soon as Eddie has refunded the value of $ 1.29, a robbery happens in the store. Howard, who is not allowed to intervene in what is happening on earth, asks Eddie to do something. When he is not ready to do so, Howard beams through the sales room and causes the perpetrator's weapon to fall apart. Finally, Eddie pours slippery juice on the floor, causing it to fall, drop the money and finally flee. Howard and Eddie then go to a rehabilitation center where Eddie is supposed to do community hours. There he meets Wilfried, who has a broken knee and therefore does not trust himself to play basketball. However, after good coaxing and some tips from Eddie, he manages to throw a basket and is more than happy and grateful. Howard and the nurse are also impressed with Eddie's friendliness. Howard now wants to get to know Eddy's mother; so they visit her in her office at Comtech. But before they can enter the building, Howard receives another call from above - this time a parking meter rings. One complains about his intervention in the store robbery and his outfit. Kathy, Eddie's mother, is very fond of Howard, especially as he heals her headache. Howard also meets Ms. Chandler's boss and current partner, Parker Ericson. Kathy had previously noticed an unfamiliar Morningstar file on her computer and, being the only one with access to the program, expresses concern about what it might be all about. Parker tries to calm her down. Howard and Eddie make their way to Eddie's Harwood High School . In the park they see Vinnie threatening Wilfried, Howard tries again to appeal to Eddie's willingness to help, but at first Eddies thinks that it is none of his business. Ultimately, he confronts Vinnie and thanks to Howard, who uses the stopwatch to tie Vinnie's laces together, he can put him to flight. Once at the school, Howard receives another call, now the doorbell rings in a tree. He has to leave Eddie alone and asks him to do homework. Since Eddie actually has to go to school, Howard quickly doubles him up so that one Eddie can go to school while the other does homework at home. Howard now rushes to Kathy Chandler, who is listening to a choir in a church. When the conductor wants to break off the choir rehearsal in disappointment, Howard calms him down by laying on his hands. The choir director does some restructuring and the choir ends up sounding nicer than ever before, so several groups of people rush to the church. Eddie meanwhile meets the nurse on the way home, who observed him at Wilfried's and who had already met him in the hospital. She is impressed by his change and finally drives him home. In the evening, Kathy tells Eddie about his childhood, in which only one song could soothe him that was about an angel. Eventually she goes out with Parker, who when she tells him that the mysterious file continues to bother her, takes her to the Comtech warehouse to sort the matter out. Howard meanwhile speaks to the security guard Al, who had turned off the alarm system for the very people who are responsible for Morningstar . Arrived at the warehouse, Parker gets out and investigates the situation, Kathy calls Eddie at home and can just tell him her location until she is grabbed from behind, gagged and tied up. Eddie immediately sets off to save her, but first notifies Howard over the tree phone. Meanwhile, Kathy and Parker are chained up in the warehouse. Kathy tells Parker that she now knows what Morningstar is all about, namely smuggled computer chips, and that she got them out of the way. The kidnappers are now trying to find out the password that reveals the new location of the chips. They threaten to violate Parker, and Kathy finally gives in and reveals the password to Heaven Sent . Now it turns out that Parker is in league with the kidnappers and smuggled the chips because Comtech was on the verge of ruin. He destroys any evidence that could connect him to the matter and wants to hold Kathy responsible for everything. Among other things, he also sets fire to a piece of paper and throws it into the wastepaper basket, which, when suddenly security guard Al appears, tips over and ignites several cardboard boxes. Parker pushes the guard down and moves to another part of the warehouse. Eddie arrives and wants to save his mother and the security guard. As the three of them are on their way out, they hear Parker screaming, who is locked in a room. Eddie goes to save him, opens the door and is knocked out of the door as Parker storms out. He is eventually rescued by Howard in firefighter form.

Eddie wakes up in the hospital again, but he's not lying there because of the fire, but still because of his car accident. It all seemed like a dream while he was unconscious, but his doctor looks like Howard and is also called Dr. David Howard and the nurse still seem interested in Eddie. So Eddie thinks that none of this has happened yet, but it can definitely happen. Meanwhile, the “real” Howard delivers the “real dead” Edie Chandler in Paradise and says that the papers were mixed up and that Eddie Chandler should only have received one lesson.
