But first they must defeat the good angels, who vehemently oppose the plan. To accomplish this, the evil ones choose as their leader a war veteran who has just died. But to thwart their belligerent counterparts, the peace-loving cherubs grab the soldier's soul, and conceal it in the body of a young girl. Will this tactic successfully derail the "bad" angels' anarchic agenda -- and save humanity in the process? [More]
