Actor Ray Haff, a modern-day Cary Grant, should be happy. A successful actor in possession of good looks and the Hollywood lifestyle should be happy, shouldn't he? But at 43, Ray is increasingly convinced something in his shallow showbiz life needs to change. But what? And how? When a red carpet run-in lands him in hospital and an out-of-body encounter with “It”, angels Patience, Prudence and Freddie the dog are charged with steering him in the right direction.

Grandma's last will and testament names Ray to inherit the trailer park.

Fame and fortune may come quickly for many, but dignity and lasting influence are in short supply.
