action
The plot of Saving Grace focuses on the seedy investigator Grace Hanadarko. Because of immoral behavior, she has to follow an important case from her desk in the first episode. Hanadarko does not want to accept this and is investigating on his own. To blow off steam, she meets up with an old friend, Rhetta Rodriguez, in a bar from where she wants to drive home drunk and runs over a pedestrian. In her desperation, she turns to God, who also listens to her, and she gets help from the angel Earl, who explains to her that God is giving her one last chance. The angel disappears and with him the events of the accident.
The confused Hanadarko discovers a blood spatter on her clothes, which is attributed to Leon Cooley. He has been on death row for 12 years . During her visit to prison, she is recognized by the inmate as a woman from his dream - the dream that Grace Hanadarko experienced as a real accident. He is also familiar with the angel Earl.
