How would you handle the most awesome responsibility in the universe?
Bruce Nolan is a TV news reporter at Eyewitness News Channel 7 in Buffalo, New York (WKBW-TV) who fails to get a job as an anchorman and, after a series of other bad luck incidents, complains to God that he is both treating him unfairly and is doing a poor job as supreme deity.
Bruce is then contacted by God who grants Bruce all of his supreme power to see if he can prove that he can do a better job.
Bruce quickly uses his new-found powers for personal gain.
