In the style of ‘Heaven Can Wait’ and ‘Oh, God!’ this uplifting, fanciful comedy follows Joe’s (Edward James Almos) incredible journey from relative obscurity to competing in ‘The US Open Golf tournament ‘ under the direction of Herb, his everpresent ‘Angel’ and motorcyclist (George Lopez), proving that anything is possible!

Sixty-five-year-old Joe Amable-Amo thinks nothing much in his background distinguishes him from other guys his age. He is struggling with his faith after tragedy hits. As the former amateur golfer’s life continues to unfold, Joe is besieged with his marriage, working as a bank executive, and gearing up for retirement. But as he is about to discover, life has a way of throwing a curveball that changes everything. Joe is working at his desk when he receives a message from God on his computer screen that tells him he has been chosen to deliver an inspirational message to the world that the seemingly impossible is possible. God tells Joe he is going to play in World Entire golf championship, and if his faith is strong enough, he will win. As Joe embarks on a spiritual journey along with God’s personal messenger and motorcyclist, Herb, Joe learns to make a difference, he must learn to face his fears, have confidence in his abilities, and commit to God before he can succeed.

Sixty-five-year-old Joe Amable-Amo is struggling with his faith as his three-year-old granddaughter and her father have just died. The former amateur golf champion is besieged by the malaise of encroaching older age, working as a bank executive, gearing up for retirement, deep concern for his wife’s unanswered needs, his humanitarian daughter’s survival, and a potentially lethal loss of faith. But, at his nadir, in his office one afternoon, a voice speaks to him via his computer monitor. What does a syncopated voice–claiming to be God Almighty–have in mind for Joe? This ostensible God has chosen Joe to deliver a message to the world; it’s this: The seemingly impossible is possible. The God voice tells Joe he is going to play in the World Entire golf championship, and if he can renew his faith powerfully enough, he will win. Well, first and foremost, God wants Joe to meet his guide, his Virgil. Except his Virgil is an incredibly quirky man named Herb. And he’s a museum of tattoos and he drives a motorcycle and he makes golf clubs and promises Joe that he will help him regain the ability of his youth. If Joe will trust, not Herb, not God, but himself. And so, Joe and Herb set out on a journey of contention, of doubt, of setbacks that through Joe’s burgeoning faith in himself and the earthy wisdom of Herb turns his world upside down and then, in an act of outrageous selflessness, of stupefying generosity that turns his–and our–world very much right side up. When Herb roars away in the last minute of our journey, he leaves standing like a fortress of love and faith the family Amable-Amo–Joe, Sheila, their daughter Audrey, and by extension, everyone they touch.

六十五岁的乔Amable-Amo认为没什么其他人在他的背景使他有别于他的年龄。他是在悲剧打击后他的信仰。随着前业余高尔夫球手的生活继续展开,乔包围着他的婚姻,作为银行高管工作,准备退休。但当他发现,生活的一种方式把一个弧线球,改变了一切。乔是在办公桌前工作当他收到消息从神来的他的电脑屏幕上,告诉他他已经选择向世界传递一个鼓舞人心的消息,看似不可能是可能的。上帝告诉乔他将在整个世界高尔夫锦标赛,如果他的信仰是足够强大,他会赢。乔承载了一种精神之旅与上帝的个人信使和骑摩托车的人,赫伯,乔学会发挥作用,他必须学会面对自己的恐惧,对他的能力有信心,致力于上帝才能成功。

The film, based on the William Sirls book, follows a small-town pastor, his wife and their sick child as a mysterious man is sent to give them hope. Sirls adapted his book for the screen, writing the screenplay with Aviv Rubinstein and Richard Clark Jr.

When a mysterious man appears in a small town, unexplained miracles start to occur, changing the lives of everyone he meets. There’s a mother whose five-year-old boy has leukemia, two doctors – one an atheist haunted by his past, the other a brilliant young oncologist who places all her hope in the power of modern medicine – and a blind pastor whose son hasn’t spoken a single word in 38 years. All of them will be brought together by the presence of this stranger, who teaches them the true meaning of faith and hope.
