Plot:

A young man named Matt Sanders has just died and has arrived in Heaven. He is then greeted by the wise and holy St. Peter. To his surprise, Matt's name is not on the list to enter Heaven and St. Peter suggests he should see a person called "The Judge". Matt then enters a strange room and comes face to face with The Judge, a supernatural being who is also known as The Devil, Satan, The Antichrist & The Horned King. The Judge then looks over all of Matt's 23 years of his life. The Judge then reveals that Matt has a criminal record but other than that he's not an offensive & racist person. After a long speech about the world, politics & people in general, The Judge then tells Matt that he is free to go. Matt then decides that he wants to die a peaceful death, and asks The Judge if they can go back in time and stop the mistakes he has made. The Judge says they can, on the condition that he stays hidden, while doing so. Matt agrees and him & The Judge go back in time to 2011 on the day he was overdue for the parking meter, didn't pay parking tickets, had his car clamped and had to go to court which he arrived late to. He quits alcohol when they go back to the day he came out of the pub hammer locked. The Judge then has an epic fight with Young Matt when they go back to the day he stole some money out of the church's collection basket. Matt then sees himself die in a car accident. With all his mistakes fixed, Matt thanks The Judge for his help & tells St. Peter that he is ready to enter Heaven.
