When Walter was ten years old, he made a deal with God to judge the eternal fate of everyone he comes in contact with, in exchange for allowing his father to go to Heaven. Walter manages his daily routine and his worrisome mother until the mysterious ghost Gregory Douglas Tomlinson (Justin Kirk) shows up and forces Walter to confront the meaning of his life and his future.
