action
Buddy Webster is the director of a small taxi company in Miami . Despite the financial difficulties, his drivers stick with him and accept severe wage cuts in order to save the company, even if they no longer believe in it themselves. Because Rockwood Enterprises, the leading taxi company, wants to buy Buddy's company. Buddy Webster is a good family man and the devil sends seduction in the form of Veronica Flame to earth to dissuade him from the right path. On the other hand, through holy brother, God sends the angel Victor to Webster to stand by him as a divine advisor, but Webster often resorts to rough methods.
A boy who rides in a taxi with Buddy, for lack of money, gives him the contents of his pocket, which contains a lot for 150 million dollars, without the young man knowing. Buddy finds out about this through the news and looks for the ticket in his jacket, but cannot find it. The Rockwood members also know of the lot and the hunt begins. Not only the money is at stake, but also buddy's soul. Victor is said to be shot if Webster does not hand over the money, with the taxi driver choosing the good.
In the end, Buddy gets the money, saves his company and his soul. Both Veronica and Victor have to repeat their earthly life because neither the diabolical nor the divine mission has been fulfilled.
