Monica is an average Mexican-American teenage girl, who lives below the poverty line and struggles to make ends meet. Monica works hard to keep her head above water only to discover she became pregnant by her abusive ex-boyfriend. About this same time her boss, a vulgar, self-centered, but wealthy car dealership owner is stricken by an angel and the only words he can speak are Bible scriptures,à la King James Version. To complicate matters further, Monica is the only person who can understand and interpret what he says. Although Monica and her boss live in completely different worlds, the angel's visit causes both of their planets to collide in a way that alters their lives forever. With Monica's life in near shambles, will she be able to grow up and find the answers she needs to gain hope for herself, and her unborn baby or will she be drawn too deeply into the affliction of her boss only to discover that if the power of life and death lie in the tongue, will those words that have brought her to the precipice cause her to fall to her death or be saved?
