SYNOPSIS
Meet Kate. God is going to…
A neurotic NY actress, who thinks she knows it all, gets to spend 24 hours with someone who really does: “all” as in the “Almighty,” that is. In an assortment of hilarious incarnations, God takes Kate on a “Holy Roller”-coaster ride through her life, loves and lunacies and helps her to learn, through tears and laughter that, about some things, "Father" really does know best. If there ever was a show with "mass" appeal, this is it!
