Plot – Banished from Paradise millions of years ago, the fallen angels Loki and Bartleby are now in Wisconsin. They learn that a church in New Jersey announced a “Plenary Indulgence Day” that will provide them access to Heaven again. It is the latest idea of a liberal cardinal who intends to modernize religion through initiatives of the kind - for example by replacing Christ on the cross with smiling Jesus statues that raise thumbs up. But God’s spokesman, helped by Bethany - who is the last descendant of Christ, two prophets, a muse and the thirteenth apostle strives to prevent Loki and Bartleby from achieving plenary indulgence. If they had to fail, it would mean that God’s word would prove fallible and so everything would have to be called into question.
