Samuel West (Van Helsing, Iris, Any Human Heart) will play Zak Gist, an intelligent yet cynical angel sent to earth to help a community. Zak’s angel credentials are hidden from public view and only very occasionally in moments of privacy do we glimpse a dramatic flutter of wings that will confirm Zak is on earth to help, influence and understand humans as they go about their day to day lives.
RADA trained Ukweli Roach (Streetdance 3D, Romeo and Juliet) plays Tom Greening, an eager newcomer who is on earth for the first time. His naivety gets him into scrapes and is a great source of humour to all around him. Briefed strictly not to become emotionally involved with humans, but to guide, advise, and comfort, Zak and Tom are both lawyers working for a local legal firm who deal with gritty, real-life situations as they attempt to prompt humans to understand the consequences of their actions.
