When Snort Laughter crashes into the Earth, all he wants to do is find the nearest Little Chef. All Charlie Makepiece, professional thief, wants is a house next to the sea and a bit of peace and quiet. All Arnie Layne wants is to stay dead and enjoy his well-earned rest in Heaven. Then the two biggest corporations in the universe decide to launch a bid for the biggest prize of all...the soul of a man. It just so happens that this soul belongs to Charlie Makepiece, that the angel sent to save him is Arnie Layne and that the alien stuck in the middle of it all is Snort Laughter.
