What do you do when you're granted God's power for a whole year - no strings attached - by an urbane, bald-heaaded heavenly messenger named Chet?

That's the question facing Charlie Wiggins, the hapless car salesman who chronicles his run-in with omnipotence in the outrageous, wickedly funny ALMIGHTY ME. Bausch aims his inspired social satire at men and women, love and marriage, and he hits the comic mark full center. Endearing and dark, side-splitting and thought-provoking, ALMIGHTY ME probes the nature of our earthly perplexities as it celebrates the loving and fallible human heart.
