An angel comes to earth and falls in love with the woman he's assigned to watch over.

==========

Inspired by the modern classic, Wings of Desire, City involves an angel (Cage) who is spotted by a doctor 
in an operating room. Franz plays Cage's buddy who somehow knows a lot about angels.

==========

Seth, an angel watching over Los Angeles, begins finding his job difficult as he falls in love with Maggie, 
a beautiful heart surgeon. She becomes interested in Seth, and soon his not-quite-mortal state seems a barrier 
rather than a gift. A choice must be made between celestial duty and earthly love.

==========

Angels are among us and when we feel an invisible presence, you better believe they are watching you. For a 
Los Angeles heart surgeon named Maggie, that is too much of a stretch. She believes that it is her job to save 
the lifes of her patients and when she meets Seth after visiting hours are over, he tells her it's simply just 
their time to go. She becomes intrigued by his presence and opinion. Seth is not just normal, he is an Angel. 
He meets Messinger while visiting patients. Messinger can see him because he was once a Angel but gave his power 
up to become human. This makes Seth want to become human so he can feel, smell, and love Maggie.
