The center, run by a rabbi named Moshe, is facing financial difficulties and may have to shut down unless they receive a miracle. The angels must find a way to help the center while also dealing with the rabbi's son, Josh, who is struggling with his faith and the recent death of his older brother.
As the angels begin to investigate, they discover that the community center is not the only thing in jeopardy. There is a bigger problem at hand - a greedy developer who plans to demolish the center and build a shopping mall in its place. Despite facing resistance from the developer and the local politicians, the angels work with Moshe to try and raise enough money to save the center.
