Joan Girardi gère tant bien que mal sa famille et sa vie d’adolescente fraîchement débarquée dans une nouvelle ville, sans parler de ses conversations avec Dieu.
Gawky teenager Joan Girardi (Amber Tamblyn), who has recently moved to Arcadia, Maryland with her family, suddenly starts meeting with strangers who claim to be God in human form, and who give her incomprehensible tasks. Each task seems to have good ripples (as Joan puts it) and she is willing to undertake more of them, but mysteries remain. Is Joan delusional? Or the victim of a huge practical joke? If she really is dealing with the deity, why did He pick an unpromising girl to do His bidding, and what are His plans for her? Without committing to any particular religious tradition, the show deals with philosophical issues that few other shows touch. There is also a surprising bit of comedy contrasting Joans everyday existence with her bewildering visions (After God assigns her one task too many, Joan asks Why dont You assign me to get a boyfriend?) There are strong supporting characters, many with ideals of their own the unhappy rebel Grace Polk; Joans science-obsessed brother Luke; her father Chief Girardi, a religious skeptic trying to fight crime and corruption; and the unworldly artist Adam with whom Joan falls in love. Surrounded by such strong-willed, positive people, we are still encouraged to wonder why Joan?
