In this independent comedy from Canada, the new millennium is just around the corner, and God decides humanity is not working out as he hoped. So he sends John the Baptist back to Earth to see if there is any good reason to give the world a second chance. Logically enough, he heads to St. Johns, Newfoundland, where he meets Marietta, a talk show host. Marietta wastes no time putting John on the air, where his comments about the fate of the world cause no small controversy; in the meantime, John spends his spare moments helping Marietta and her husband patch up their failing marriage.
