Synopsis/Details
Larry, a blue-collar “good ol’ boy”, is the product of tragedy and lost love. A modern-day Ebenezer Scrooge, Larry misses no opportunity to torment his fellow creatures. One day when trying to rid the world of a "pesky armadilluh", Larry accidentally blows himself up. He is stopped at the pearly gates and informed that he’s been granted a second chance, but must return to earth as an animal. Guided by his angel, Gabriel, Larry is given opportunities to change his ways; but the clock is ticking. Unfortunately, Larry is a slow learner, full of excuses, and his attempts at life as an animal go horribly wrong. Karma kicks Larry's tail back and forth between heaven and earth until, in the end, he learns a simple truth; that “life is precious”.
