This is the story of Michael Thomas, an apparently ordinary man who was born in Minnesota and now works in Los Angeles. He represents the image of the typical and dissatisfied American. After a robbery that puts his life in danger, Michael is visited by a wise angel who asks him what he truly wishes for in life. Michael replies that he actually wants to go home. To reach his ultimate goal, Michael must first undergo a series of adventures and trials in an amazing land filled with angelic beings, wise teachers, and dark creatures. Michael's quest is as moving, humorous, and astonishing as he could have never imagined.
