Notes: | based on his novel The Tempest Tales | |||||
| Tempest Landry, a quick-witted African American man from Harlem, is walking home when a case of mistaken identity leads to his being shot and killed by the police. Denied access to heaven because of what he considers to be a few minor transgressions, Tempest refuses Saint Peter's judgment to go to hell, believing that heaven is refusing to see the full truth of his justified "sins." Stymied, Saint Peter returns Tempest to Manhattan, with a new face and an angel named Joshua to watch over him. As Tempest sets up one morally complex situation after another, Joshua engages him in discussions of situational ethics, trying to get Landry to accept Saint Peter's edict. Can the street-smart Landry outwit his angel. . .and the devil himself? | |||||
