An angel tells Lance he was taken prematurely but assures him he can be returned to Earth in the aged body of a ruthless white billionaire. In this improbable reincarnation, Lance begins a hilarious quest to realize his showbiz dream and, along the way, discovers the person he never imagined he could be.
