Heaven Can Wait

A NFL quarterback's life is unexpectedly spared by an overzealous angel, who mistakenly takes his place. The quarterback finds himself in the body of a deceased businessman, struggling to adapt to his new identity and luxurious lifestyle.

A football quarterback is mistakenly sent to heaven after a near-fatal accident, only to discover his body has been cremated. To rectify the situation, an angel finds a new body for him, that of a murdered millionaire, and Joe must navigate his new life while keeping his true identity hidden.
