Eddie Schneider (Til Schweiger) is a charismatic and successful creative director at a top advertising agency in New York. A master of communication, his pitching skills are legendary, and he never loses an account. Eddie is engaged to Judy Birk (Stephanie von Pfetten), the boss’s daughter. Eddie’s life looks perfect, but internally he battles an addiction to sex with no success. His addiction has led him into a life of lies and deceit. Although struggling with his dark side, Eddie thinks his infidelities are victimless crimes and justifies them with his business success.
After winning a huge pitch for the agency, Eddie discovers his co-worker and friend Angelina (Lauren Lee Smith) has been raped by Judy’s brother Anthony (Sebastien Roberts). The Birk family bring in their top lawyer to make sure Anthony is found innocent – but to ensure his freedom Anthony blackmails Eddie with evidence of Eddie’s countless affairs, demanding Eddie testifies in court on his behalf. To maintain his perfect life and upcoming marriage – Eddie helps Anthony get off the hook.
When Anthony is found not guilty, his victim Angelina is devastated and tries to commit suicide. At the last moment an army general (Michael Clarke Duncan) saves her life. Only Angelina sees The General who is a powerful, revenging, guiding angel of heaven and hell. An ethereal force.
