Angel is a selfish, abusive, morally bankrupt man who hangs out at his local bar, berating the other patrons. One day, Angel mysteriously wakes up with a pair of wings on his back. The wings make him do good deeds, contrary to his nature. He desperately tries to rid himself of the good wings, but eventually finds himself fighting those who view the wings as their ticket to fame and fortune. Bill Plympton structured the film as to be "the exact opposite of Hair High," monochromatic and more limited in animation, "something like Svankmajer might make, or David Lynch, if he made animation, very dark and surreal."
