The apocalypse is scheduled for next Saturday, just after tea. But the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley, who've gotten quite comfortable on Earth, would prefer to stop the impending Armageddon. Unfortunately, someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist. As the armies of Good and Evil gather, these unlikely allies must find the wayward child and avert disaster before it's too late. In this riotous fantasy, the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and the only thing standing in the way is a somewhat fussy angel, a fast-living demon, and the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch.
